How a tough reader scores it
When you score a draft against this format, the Critic evaluates this mutual action plan. The weights add up to 100; the fixes for the weakest criteria arrive as cards in the editor.
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Anchored on the customer's goal and date | 20 |
| Milestones cover security, legal, and procurement | 20 |
| Every step has a named owner on the correct side | 20 |
| Dates are realistic, working back from go-live | 20 |
| Stakeholders and risks are complete | 20 |
How it works in SecondPen.ai
Open the template and the editor writes the blank once, with a line of guidance under each heading that you delete as you fill it in. Write your abstract and the editor names the format it reads like. Ask for a document with a slash command and it offers to start from the matching format. When the draft is ready, the Critic scores it against the criteria above, the way this format's toughest reader would, and the three highest-leverage fixes become Editor cards.
