Why it exists

Because too much copy is written like a hostage note from a committee. DriftLoom needed one sharp, public tool that actually does something useful on day one.

Operating note

This is a blunt heuristic tool, not a priest. It is here to pressure language, not to replace judgment. But it is still better than letting brochure copy roam unsupervised.
