A polished draft can be wrong
Keep the source beside the draft.
A draft can change a date, add a promise or omit a needed rule. It can sound warm and still mislead the reader.
Reading aloud can help you notice awkward wording. You can also read silently or use another review method. Hearing a smooth line does not prove its facts.
Compare the full draft with the source and its purpose. Check missing facts as well as the words that appear.
Buddy says
You are looking for meaning and facts, not just a smooth sound.
A useful review
Check what stayed, changed or disappeared.
Compare each needed date, time, place, count and condition. Check the audience and what the piece asks readers to do.
Look for claims about feelings, price, safety, quality or promises that the source did not support. Do not keep them just because they sound good.
You can ask AI to help list mismatches, but check its list too. Finding one wrong day does not clear every other part of the piece.
SourceUse the current confirmed plan, not a guess from an old draft.
CompareCheck every needed fact, missing line and new claim.
Before useRepair the draft, then inspect the final version and audience.
Check that the reader can act without you explaining a missing room or time. Keep the piece on hold when a needed fact is unresolved.
For a real service rule or claim that needs expert judgment, use the current official source or qualified advice.
Compare two complete texts
Catch every changed event detail.
Made-up source: Building Potluck, building residents only, Saturday, November 14, 2026, noon to 2 p.m., shared room, bring one dish to share. Draft: Building Potluck. Everyone welcome Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. in the courtyard. Bring one dish to share.
Example message
Compare this draft with the sample source and list mismatches, omissions and retained facts on separate lines. Source: Building Potluck, building residents only, Saturday, November 14, 2026, noon to 2 p.m., shared room, bring one dish to share. Draft: Building Potluck. Everyone welcome Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. in the courtyard. Bring one dish to share. Do not approve it to share.
An example AI reply
Date: replace Sunday, November 15, 2026, with Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Time: replace 7 p.m. with noon to 2 p.m., including the missing end time.
Place: replace the courtyard with the shared room.
Audience: replace everyone welcome with building residents only.
Keep: Building Potluck and bring one dish to share.
The list catches the date, time, missing end time, place and audience. It preserves the two matching details. It is a fix list, not a corrected flyer or proof that a final copy was reviewed.
One repair is not every check
Is the flyer ready after you correct the day?
You fix the wrong day. The same flyer still says free entry, but the source says the cost is not confirmed. Choose an answer to see why, then continue. This is practice, not a grade.
A complete fix list
Compare a sale sign with its source.
Sample source: book sale for building residents, Saturday, November 14, 2026, 9 to 11 a.m., shared room, books $1 each, cash only. Draft: Public book sale, Sunday, November 15, 2026, 9 a.m., courtyard, books $2 each, cards accepted. Write the fixes and what remains to check.
Your practice box, just for you. Your draft saves in this browser. This box is not AI. Leave private details out.
Check audience, date, full time window, place, price and payment method.
Start with a few words, or look at the example first.
Evidence before approval
Compare, repair and review the final copy.
Check the whole draft against the facts and reader’s needs.
Look for missing conditions and new claims, not just spelling.
A fix list is a step toward review, not proof that the piece is ready or shared.
Buddy says
A clear correction is useful progress toward a reliable piece.
