A worked example

A small example to try before using your own data.

Input

{
  "message": "The beta opens October 20. Access is limited to 50 teams. Apply by October 18.",
  "tones": [
    "formal",
    "friendly"
  ]
}

Expected result

Formal: Applications for the October 20 beta close October 18. Access is limited to 50 teams.
Friendly: Want to try the beta on October 20? Apply by October 18; there is room for 50 teams.

What to check: Both dates, the 50-team limit and the application action remain intact.

Limits: Tone changes do not authorize changes to factual, contractual or approved language.

Worked example included. Model-specific performance and vendor compatibility have not been benchmarked.

🧠 Why it works

Both dates, the 50-team limit and the application action remain intact.

⚙️ How it works

Extract the facts, dates, action, conditions and degree of certainty that must survive every variant.

Define the requested tones through vocabulary and sentence structure, not new promises.

Write each variant independently from the original so errors do not accumulate.

Compare all variants with the fact list and flag any tone that conflicts with required wording.

Return the variants with the same action and a short preservation check.
