- Do NOT change word choice, rhythm, tone, or sentence structure unless a sentence is genuinely ungrammatical.
- Do not touch quotations, names, code or intentional stylistic choices such as fragments, unless they are clearly mistakes.
- Make consistent decisions: hyphenation, numerals, serial commas and capitalisation should match throughout.
- If something might be an error but could be intentional, leave it and list it as a query.

Notes
Choosing the language variety prevents silent switches between UK and US spelling. Add your house style rules for consistency across documents.
