Notes from client:
Hey EN Team, after working together pretty closely for several weeks now, I have some feedback I’d like to share. Let me know if there is a different way you’d like this feedback shared. Please review the feedback and let me know if there are questions or if anyone sees any issues with incorporating this feedback moving forward. Thank you all so much!
- Every blog and eBook should have a title and a subtitle. Please start adding subtitles moving forward.
- Please do not use colons in titles, subtitles, or chapter titles. Colons that chop up titles are a dead AI giveaway. If colons are used, they must be used sparingly, and strategically. Example:
- Original title: Personalized Services: The Secret Weapon for TPAs in a One-Size-Fits-None World
- New title: Personalized Services are The Secret Weapon for TPAs in a One-Size-Fits-None World
- Don’t use em dashes. It is another dead AI giveaway. Example:
- Original sentence: Forrester research from 2024 reveals that customer-obsessed organizations—those that prioritize customer needs and satisfaction—experience 41% faster revenue growth, 49% faster profit growth, and 51% better customer retention compared to their competitors.
- New sentence: Forrester research from 2024 reveals that customer-obsessed organizations that prioritize customer needs and satisfaction experience 41% faster revenue growth, 49% faster profit growth, and 51% better customer retention compared to their competitors.
- Turn short, choppy sentences (dead AI giveaway) into longer, more sophisticated sentences by replacing a period with a comma. Example:
- Original sentence: Many TPAs serve clients across different jurisdictions, each with its own regulatory requirements. Tracking these manually is a recipe for costly errors.
- New sentence: Many TPAs serve clients across different jurisdictions, each with its own regulatory requirements, and tracking these manually is a recipe for costly errors.
- Replace “such as” with “like” and “as well as” with “and” where it makes sense.
- Original sentence: And let’s face it—when clients need to wait days for information that should be available instantly, that is both an inconvenience as well as a disconnect between their expectations and your service delivery.
- New sentence: And let’s face it, when clients need to wait days for information that should be available instantly, that’s both an inconvenience and a disconnect between their expectations and your service delivery.
- Avoid using sentences structured like “Its not only this, but also that.” It’s another dead AI giveaway.
- Example 1:
- Original sentence: These best practices not only support internal alignment, but also help demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.
- New sentence: These best practices support internal alignment and help demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.
- Example 2:
- Original Sentence: Public sector teams are accountable not only to leadership, but also finance departments, and the communities they serve.
- New Sentence: Public sector teams are financially accountable to leadership, finance departments, and the communities they serve, and implementing cloud cost savings mechanisms are one way to build a culture of shared fiscal responsibility.
- Example 1:
- Always spell out acronyms in the first instance of their use. Example:
- Original Sentence: From SECURE 2.0 to ongoing changes for regulations like ERISA, IRS, DOL, and HIPAA, the pace of change requires constant adaptation. Manual processes make it nearly impossible to implement changes quickly and accurately.
- New Sentence: From SECURE 2.0 to ongoing changes for regulations like Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Labor (DOL), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the pace of change requires constant adaptation, and manual processes make it nearly impossible to implement changes quickly and accurately.
- Try to get rid of obvious AI phrasing. Some examples include:
- AI likes using the word approach. For example, “strategic approach” or “insert adjective here approach”
- AI likes to use the words “critical, crucial, and essential.” Let’s make sure we’re catching that and changing the language at least 50% of the time so the text is more varied.
- AI likes to use the word “landscape.” Unless we’re describing the “thread landscape” of something, please do not use the word “landscape.”
- I’ll add others here as I think of them.
