Improve a draft with useful feedback

What you will learn
Ask for a specific revision rather than repeatedly starting over.
The idea
Say what is wrong, what should stay, and how the revision should change. Ask for a shorter opening, a clearer next step or a missing fact—not simply better. Compare versions so a useful correction does not introduce a new mistake. Keep the final approved version and the brief that produced it as an example for the next task.
A workplace example
THE SITUATION
Keep the facts and friendly closing. Cut the opening to one sentence. Make the request for approval clearer.
A USEFUL APPROACH
A shorter draft with the same facts and a direct approval request.
WHAT TO CHECK
Did the revision lose an important detail or add a new claim?
Try it
Write two specific feedback instructions for a sample message, then explain how you would check the revision.
Use fictional details. Keep your notes with you; this preview does not collect them.
Remember this
Useful feedback describes an observable change.
