Vague prose — "many residents," "crime is rising," "families are struggling" — gives an engine nothing to lift and attribute, so it gets skipped in favor of a competitor's page that spelled out the number. So the skill's entire job is a conversion: **turn vague prose into stat-bearing, quote-bearing, citation-bearing sentences.** Every flag exists to move one sentence from "uncitable" to "quotable." ## Hard rules (never break these) These rules protect factual accuracy for any claim in the copy, including claims about an opponent — don't source-wash an attack line, and never put words in an opponent's mouth. Nothing below carves opponents out. 1. **Never invent the replacement.** Do not fabricate a statistic, a
