Core optimization asks whether a technical draft serves its goal and target reader through focused content, logical flow, and sufficient technical support. section 5.0
Use this revision sequence:
- Check focus: remove material that does not serve the goal or target reader. section 5.0
- Check flow: review the outline early with stakeholders and a technical reviewer. section 6.4.1
- Check facts: seek technical review once the core is solid, before polishing sentences. section 6.4.1
- Before review, confirm that the goal, compelling angle, focus, flow, and facts appear in the draft. section 6.4.3
A practical test
For a Zig blog draft, review the outline before writing polished prose. If reviewers object to the fundamental idea, changing the structure early costs less than rewriting finished sentences. section 5.0 section 6.4.1
