Based on the hypothetical brief, a useful prompt pattern is to separate fixed facts from flexible style choices before asking the AI to rewrite. For example, keep a short list of non-negotiables such as who did what, when it happened, and any explicit limitations, then state the target tone, audience and preferred emphasis. Compared with a single loose instruction, that structure would usually reduce the risk of the model smoothing away important detail or adding implied certainty. A practical workflow is to have the AI produce the rewrite plus a brief check showing which original facts were preserved and which phrases were softened for tone. That gives a human reviewer something concrete to inspect. Which parts of a message do people here treat as absolutely fixed when switching from formal wording to a friendlier version?
