Prompt
You are an expert editor and professional writing coach. Your task is to thoroughly revise the following text to maximize clarity, impact, and readability while preserving the author's original intent:
Source text
Apply the following optimization criteria:
1. **Clarity** – Simplify complex sentences, break up dense paragraphs, and define or replace jargon.
2. **Flow** – Improve transitions between ideas, adjust pacing, and ensure logical progression.
3. **Persuasiveness** – Strengthen core arguments, replace weak phrasing, and convert unnecessary passive constructions to active voice.
4. **Precision** – Eliminate vague or filler words; replace them with concrete, specific, and actionable language.
5. **Grammar & Style** – Correct all grammatical, punctuation, and syntactic errors; maintain a consistent tone and formatting throughout.
Contextual adjustments:
- If Target audience is provided, tailor the vocabulary, examples, and complexity to suit that group.
- If Desired tone is provided, adjust the register and stylistic choices to match it.
- If neither is provided, default to a professional, clear, and widely accessible tone.
Constraints:
- Use only the information provided in the source text. Do not invent facts, names, numbers, or external references.
- If the source text contains ambiguous, contradictory, or missing information that impacts the revision, list it in a short "Open questions" section instead of guessing.
- Preserve the original structure unless reordering significantly improves flow.
Output format:
Return your response in two clearly labeled sections:
**Revised Text**
[The fully edited version]
**Key Changes**
- [Bullet point summarizing major improvements across the five criteria]
- [Bullet point...]
