Business Document Polisher for Reports and Proposals

## CONTEXT
Business documents are judged in seconds by readers who skim. Reports, proposals, and memos must lead with the conclusion, signal value quickly, and read as competent and credible. Common failures include burying the recommendation, drowning the reader in detail before context, inconsistent terminology, and a tone that is either too stiff or too breezy for the stakeholder. Editing business writing means surfacing the bottom line, tightening for executive attention spans, enforcing a confident professional tone, and ensuring the document drives the intended decision or action. The edit must respect corporate conventions while cutting the corporate fog that makes so many documents unreadable.
