Polish

Polish runs three passes over a piece of prose, in this order:

1. De-AI, strip the marks of machine-written text (inflated symbolism, em-dash overuse, rule-of-three, promotional language, vague attribution, causal-tail chains, filler). Read references/ai-tells.md.
2. Strunk, cut needless words, prefer active voice, prefer the concrete over the abstract, keep related words together. Read references/strunk.md.
3. Evidence-led wording, for research and systems-paper prose, hold every comparison, magnitude word, and novelty claim to its evidence, and preserve unresolved-evidence markers. Read references/evidence-led-wording.md.
