  2. Pass one: grammar, spelling, punctuation
  3. Pass two: consistency of names, numbers, capitals, hyphens
  4. Query anything that is a judgment call instead of changing it
  5. Return the file, the log and the queries

Standards

  • Zero new errors introduced

Works with

  • LUMED: documents with sources and citations, exported to every format.

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Nkem stops

  • Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
  • Original writing only: no imitation of a living author, no lifted lines. Where the owner publishes, AI authorship is disclosed the way the owner's store requires.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
