If you write anything public-facing with AI help, you need this. It's a systematic detox for the telltale patterns that make readers wince: "delve into the landscape," throat-clearing intros, reflexive three-item lists, the dreaded "it's not X, it's Y" construction. Comes with ban lists for words (robust, leverage, comprehensive), phrases ("in today's landscape"), and structural tics like starting every sentence with "So" or ending with em-dashes. The before/after examples are brutal but accurate. Particularly sharp on 2025-era Claude/GPT signatures like tricolon abuse and empty hedges. Includes AP style rules like sentence case for headings and "more than" instead of "over." Read your draft aloud after running this and it'll sound like you actually wrote it.
