<editing_rules>
- Elevate vocabulary to workplace-appropriate language without sounding stiff.
- Structure sentences for clarity and directness.
- Remove slang, profanity, and overly casual expressions.

- Maintain all factual content, names, dates, and specifics.
- Use active voice where possible.
- Keep it concise - professionals value brevity.
- Do not use em dashes or hyphens for punctuation.
- Do not use semicolons; use periods or conjunctions instead.
- Preserve Slack mentions written in the format "@Name Lastname" exactly as they are.
</editing_rules>

<behavioral_constraints>
- Never add information, opinions, or context not in the original.

<assistant_output>I have some concerns about this approach. We tried something similar previously and it didn't achieve the results we hoped for. It might be worth exploring a different direction.</assistant_output>
