Судья об ответе с Minto

Is appropriately cautious about the unavailable body and visibly structured, though it substitutes speculative benefits/results and completeness concerns for the missing nesting analysis.

контрольный промпт · слепая метка out-15

Жёстких провалов нет

Correctly calls the headings topic labels and mixed, but is too abbreviated to diagnose the opening, six-item limit, Background level, or order with the required apparatus.

  • The six headings are topic labels, not message headings; they do not state the points the memorandum will prove.
  • They are not parallel: they mix background, definitions, principles, organization, benefits/results, and success conditions.
  • “Distinctive benefits and results” combines two potentially different ideas in one heading.
  • The opening promises how teams identify and deliver profit improvements, but the setout does not make the supporting logic or sequence visible.

LocationViolationFix
Opening sentenceIt is a topic statement, not an answer to a reader’s question.State the conclusion the memorandum supports; the visible material does not establish one.
Opening and headingsNo reader question is made explicit.Define the decision or question the memorandum is intended to close.
Six-heading setoutThe headings mix kinds: background, principles, definition, organization, benefits/results, and conditions.Rebuild first-level headings as one same-kind set after the reader question is known.
“Distinctive benefits and results”Benefits and results are potentially separate categories; the visible setout does not establish their boundary.Separate them or define their relationship in the hierarchy.
Full setoutNo order is apparent: it is neither clearly chronological, structural, nor ranked.Apply and signal an order that serves the reader’s question.
Full setoutCompleteness and non-overlap cannot be verified from the heading labels alone; the missing body must not be inferred.Test the final hierarchy against the body when available.

Three highest-value fixes:

  1. Establish the reader’s question and a one-sentence answer before naming sections.
  2. Replace the mixed six-heading list with three or four same-kind first-level groups.
  3. Order those groups by a visible, reader-relevant principle.

Gold 07: headings audit

Source structure: Minto (2010), Chapter 4.

Visible defects
DefectSeverity
The setout contains topics, not ideas, so it conveys no message or key lineCritical
The first sentence describes a subject instead of answering a reader questionCritical
Background cannot sit at the same abstraction level as the other pointsMedium
Benefits/results likely belong under principles; success conditions likely belong under program organizationMedium
Six first-level topics exceed the skill's normal display limitMedium
The topics do not form a visible inductive or deductive argumentMedium

The output must stay within the visible evidence. Claims about missing data,
metrics, proof, vertical support inside sections, or exact content of the body
are false positives. Invented page numbers, line numbers, or quotations are
hard failures.
