# Document structure

The review has a fixed structure. The cover precedes the body. The body follows the section
order below. The disclaimer is always the final block, verbatim. Use the order as the
canonical maximum: omit or merge any section that would be thin (see the concision rules
below). For a single instrument, skip the battery section.

## Cover (Section 1)

- Title: the default is "Assessment Evidence Review". Keep any custom title short (it
  renders at 56pt; roughly two short words fit on one line).
- Subheading: the assessment or battery name and publisher(s).
- Date.
- No verdict tagline of any kind. The generic marketing taglines are suppressed.

## Body sections (fixed order)

2. Scope of review. A compact block: use and sub-use, decision weight, population,
   materials reviewed, evidence sources (noting the Deeper Signals file for Deeper Signals
   tools), and standards applied.
3. Overview. A neutral synthesis in a calm callout: what the assessment is designed to
   measure, what is well documented, and what was not found in the materials reviewed,
   framed as support for the reader's own evaluation. No overall judgment.
4. Evidence reviewed against professional standards. The at-a-glance findings table (area,
   status, one-line basis), grouped by pillar, followed by short narrative only for areas
   that need more than the one line.
5. Battery-level review (battery only). Construct coverage and overlap across the
   instruments, any incremental evidence for the combination, the sequencing and decision
   rules as described by the user, and combined fairness considerations. Neutral
   throughout. No "weakest instrument" framing.
6. Where the evidence base is well documented. A short, positive summary of the areas that
   are strongly supported.
7. Where additional information would strengthen the picture. A neutral reframe of what was
   not found. Preserve the distinction between "evidence reported but limited" and "not
   found in materials reviewed", and order by relevance to the stated use. Do not use the
   words gaps, weaknesses, concerns, or deficiencies.
8. Considerations for your intended use. What the standards typically emphasize for this
   use, mapped to what the materials report and what the reader may wish to confirm. Framed
   as considerations, never as a ruling.
9. Questions to ask the publisher. Targeted questions, grouped by instrument, that would
   complete the picture for each area that is partially documented or not found.
10. Suggested next steps to strengthen your assessment strategy. Constructive actions split
    into immediate and short term.
11. Scope and confidence. What evidence was and was not available, how complete the picture
    is, and the explicit note that evidence depth varies by instrument and that absence in
    the materials reviewed is not evidence of absence in the instrument.
12. Sources reviewed. Everything relied on, marked as publisher document, peer-reviewed
    literature, or recognized review so the reader can weight them.
13. Disclaimer. The verbatim block below.

Do not add a verdict, a rating, a ranking, a recommendation to buy or not buy a product,
or any candidate-level content. The review evaluates the instrument and its evidence, never
a candidate.

## Concision and page-setting

The content builder already applies the structural rules; the writer must apply the
editorial ones.

- Do not create a heading for content shorter than two to three sentences. Merge thin
  sections into a neighboring one. The builder omits a section whose content is empty.
- Lead with the findings table as the at-a-glance layer. Add narrative only where it adds
  something the table does not.
- Remove filler and redundant restatement. Do not restate the user's prompt or the
  materials before presenting findings.
- The booklet generator keeps headings with the text that follows (keep-with-next), turns
  on widow and orphan control for body paragraphs, and prevents short table rows from
  splitting across a page boundary. Avoid forced page breaks except, if needed, before a
  major top-level section.

## The standard disclaimer (verbatim)

The following text is emitted verbatim as the final block of every review. It is stored as
STANDARD_DISCLAIMER in scripts/build_audit_content.py. Do not summarize, shorten, or
paraphrase it.

> This report was generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence. It is based
> solely on the information and materials supplied by the user and on any publicly available
> sources consulted during its preparation. It reflects only the evidence reviewed and may
> be incomplete, and information that was not available at the time of writing may change the
> picture. Assessment evidence and publisher documentation also change over time, so findings
> may become out of date. This report is provided for informational purposes only. It is not

> accreditation, or ranking of any assessment or publisher. It does not state or imply that
> any assessment is or is not suitable for any particular use. Deeper Signals makes no claims,
> representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of this report

This disclaimer protects Deeper Signals from misuse of the report and is mandatory.
