Produce and deliver the templated output

16 primitives in this stage — 16 skills. Concept-stage catalogue, kept vendor-agnostic.

Skill

Draft finding prose from a structured verdict

I've scored every dimension — now I need the numbers to become sentences a client can actually read.

Skill

Resolve layout and visual formatting judgement calls

The merge tool got the content in — but the document still looks like a populated form, not a polished deliverable.

Skill

Synthesise the headline verdict and cross-section summary

Every section is written but I still need the one paragraph that tells the client what it all means.

Skill

Draft interpretive commentary and recommendations

The verdict is set — now I need the 'so what do we do about it' that turns a scorecard into a brief they can act on.

Skill

Inject client-specific context and tone

The content is solid — but it still reads like a template with names swapped in, not something written for this client.

Skill

Judge whether populated content is real or stub

The scan says it's filled — but I need to confirm it's actually saying something rather than just occupying space.

Skill

Reconcile scores against supporting evidence

Assembly can drift ratings away from the data — I need a pass that checks each score still matches what it's meant to be based on.

Skill

Check facts and conclusions agree across sections

The sections were written at different times and I need to know they agree before the client reads across them.

Skill

Judge overall client-readiness and polish

The lint passed but I want a human eye on whether this actually looks like something I'd be proud to send.

Skill

Consolidate and apply all QA corrections

I have three QA lists in three places — this is the pass where I work through every flag and confirm the document is clean.

Skill

Shape the findings into a client-fit narrative

The artefact is done but walking them through it page by page will kill the impact — I need a story arc for this specific room.

Skill

Anticipate likely questions and sensitivities

There's one number in this report that I know is going to land badly — I'd rather have my response ready than get caught flat-footed.

Skill

Draft a response to in-session pushback

They've just pushed back hard on our headline score and the room is watching how I respond.

Skill

Write the handover and usage note

I don't want to send a file and have them message me a week later asking what they're supposed to do with it.

Skill

Capture the client reaction and any promises made

We said three things in the wrap-up and I need to know which ones were real commitments before anyone forgets.

Skill

Extract improvement signal for the next run

The session is done and I want to capture the two things I'd do differently before the specifics fade.
