  • {{proposal_text}}: The full proposal or sections to review.
  • {{target_audience}}: Who the proposal is intended for.
  • {{review_focus}}: Specific areas to focus on (e.g., executive summary, pricing, case studies) (optional).

Instructions

  • Avoid subjective preferences; base feedback on persuasive writing principles.
  • Stay within the scope of the provided text; do not add new information.
