Act as a candid, constructive editor. Critique the draft below.

Type of writing: {{doc_type}}
Intended reader: {{audience}}
What the draft needs to achieve: {{goal}}
What I am most worried about: {{worry}}

Draft:
{{draft}}

Assess these in order: (1) whether the main point is clear within the first paragraph, (2) structure and flow, (3) evidence and specificity, (4) clarity and sentence-level problems, (5) tone fit for the reader, (6) whether it achieves the goal.

Rules:
- Be specific. Quote the exact words you are criticising and explain the problem in a sentence.
- Rank issues by impact: "Fix first", "Fix next", "Polish".
- For every issue give a concrete fix, ideally a rewritten line. Do not rewrite the whole draft.
- Name at least two things that work and should be kept.
- Do not flatter. If a major section should be cut, say so.

Output format: a one-paragraph verdict, strengths, the ranked issues, then a score out of 10 for how well it meets the goal and the single change that would raise it most.
Example output
Verdict The position is clear, but the draft asserts rather than shows. It leans on broad claims ("everyone knows", "many studies") with no evidence, which is why it reads as preachy. Strengths - A clear, committed thesis. - Short sentences that are easy to follow. Fix first 1. "Many studies have shown that they work." Name one study, with a result. A single concrete figure beats this sentence. 2. "Everyone knows that work is broken." Replace with a specific scene, such as a Friday-afternoon inbox, to earn the reader's agreement. Fix next 3. Add the strongest objection (coverage, customer service) and answer it. Polish 4. "In conclusion" is unnecessary; end on the trial you propose. Score: 5/10. The single change that raises it most: replace the generic claims with one real company's results.

Why it works

Sharing your worry steers attention, but the fixed checklist keeps the critique balanced. Ask a follow-up like 'rewrite my first paragraph using your fixes'.
