I have had to think carefully about how technical results are phrased, especially when a sentence gets rewritten to sound cleaner. One easy mistake I've seen is turning a 20% reduction in error into a 20% improvement in accuracy. A 20% cut in error shrinks a small remaining number, so accuracy itself can barely move. The number survives the rewrite, but what it describes changes completely.
That kind of mistake is subtle enough to survive a quick read, because nothing in the sentence looks out of place. Recall can quietly become accuracy, a figure can drift by ten points, or an observed association can pick up a causal verb on its way to a tidier sentence. It is the kind of mistake I wanted Evidence Desk to help catch.
Evidence Desk is a browser tool I built with Codex. You give it a draft along with the source files the draft came from, and it breaks the draft into claims.…
