Example report — not an analysis of your input

Reviewed scope

Only the five fictional paragraphs shown (¶1–¶5). The rest of a manuscript and the passage itself were not provided.

Evidence

• The main claim first appears in ¶3, after two opening stories. [¶1, ¶2, ¶3]
• ¶4 gives an illustration before any explanation of the passage. [¶4]
• ¶5 ends with three separate applications. [¶5]

Three prioritized improvements

1. Move the main claim from ¶3 into or right after ¶1. [¶1, ¶3]
2. Explain the passage before the illustration in ¶4. [¶4]
3. Keep one of the three applications in ¶5 to sharpen the landing. [¶5]

Uncertainties

• The passage text was not provided, so faithfulness to it cannot be assessed.
• Audience and target length were not provided.

Next actions

• Rewrite the opening so ¶3's claim comes first.
• Draft one paragraph explaining the passage before ¶4.

Example report — not an analysis of your input

Reviewed scope

Only the four fictional notes shown, from a home page and a visit page. Visitor task: find when and where to attend.

Evidence

• The service time appears only in the home page footer (H2), not at the top (H1). [H1, H2]
• The visit page gives no written address (V1). [V1]
• The contact prompt does not say when someone will reply (V2). [V2]

Three prioritized improvements

1. Add the Sunday time from H2 to the top of the home page (H1). [H1, H2]
2. Write the street address as text next to the map (V1). [V1]
3. State an expected reply time beside the contact prompt (V2). [V2]

Uncertainties

• Mobile layout was not described in the notes.
• Other pages were not provided.

Next actions

• Update the home page top section.
• Add address text to the visit page.

Reviewed scope

Only the three fictional rows shown (B1–B3) for the stated period and basis.

Evidence

• Facilities: actual 11,800 − budget 10,000 = +1,800 (118% of budget) [B1]
• Ministry supplies: actual 3,600 − budget 4,000 = −400 (90% of budget) [B2]
• Missions (restricted fund): actual 6,000 − budget 6,000 = 0 (100% of budget) [B3]

Three prioritized improvements

1. Review Facilities before next year: it is 1,800 over budget. [B1]
2. Ministry supplies came in 400 under budget; check whether planned purchases were delayed. [B2]
3. Report the restricted Missions fund on its own line, as shown in B3. [B3]

Uncertainties

• Compliance of B3 with its restriction cannot be assessed without the fund's stated purpose and expenditure detail.
• Category definitions may differ from your bookkeeping.

Next actions

• List Facilities invoices by quarter.
• Gather the Missions fund's written purpose and expense list.
