Learn about vigilant mode.

Expanded prose-slop coverage, validated against new technical-human and synthetic corpora to keep false positives near zero.

  • Honesty / throat-clearing openers: truth be told, if I'm being honest, let me level with you, here's the deal, the fact of the matter is, and more (sentence-initial).
  • Hype / business clichés (corporate-speak): secret sauce, force multiplier, boil the ocean, best-of-breed, bleeding-edge, move fast and break things, drive value, empower your team, and more.
  • Inflated-verb clichés: serves as a reminder/testament to, ushers in a new era, speaks volumes about, represents a paradigm shift, leaves an indelible mark, and more.
  • New rule: significance-density - significance signposting (notably, importantly, it's worth noting that, it's important to note, ...) is now flagged by document-level density, not per instance. A single hedge passes; over-signposting (>=3 per piece and >=3 per 1,000 words) is flagged. The per-instance flags for these were removed, fixing false positives on technical and academic writing.

Precision: terms that are correct in technical writing (single source of truth, end-to-end, scalable, real-time, digital transformation, ...) were tested against a software-engineering corpus and excluded. Hype/clichés hit 95% of synthetic marketing slop with 0% false positives on 1,914 technical docs and 193 Paul Graham essays; significance-density hit 87.5% of synthetic slop with 0% false positives on 750 technical/developer docs.
