Test the definition for replicability by an outsider
Simulates a reader applying a drafted definition cold, surfacing ambiguous terms, missing preconditions, and steps that can't be executed from the text alone.
In / outDraft definition or step-set → annotated evaluation listing ambiguous terms, missing preconditions, and non-executable steps
You might say…
“I gave it to someone else and they applied it completely differently than I intended.”
What it does
Takes a drafted definition/step-set and simulates a reader who wasn't in the room applying it cold — surfacing ambiguous terms, missing preconditions, and steps that can't be executed from the text alone. Used to tighten the formulation until it is genuinely self-contained.
Trigger: Use after drafting a definition or step-set to tighten the formulation until it is genuinely self-contained — before publishing or handing it to others.
