Cut an Application Answer to the Word Limit
Prompt
The question as the funder asked it: {{QUESTION_ASKED}}
My draft answer: {{DRAFT_ANSWER}}
Hard limit (words or characters, and whether spaces count): {{LIMIT}}
Do this:
1. Say in one sentence what the question is really asking.
2. List which parts of my draft answer it, which are context the assessor does not need, and which are missing.
3. Produce a version that fits the limit. Count the words and show the count.
4. Keep every fact, figure and claim exactly as in my draft; you may shorten wording but not change meaning.
5. Show me what you cut as a short bullet list so I can restore anything vital.
6. Suggest one stronger opening sentence in plain English.
Keep every claim exactly as drafted, and mark any claim without evidence [EVIDENCE?]. If the limit makes a good answer impossible, say so.
Output: the diagnosis, the trimmed answer with word count, the cuts list.
