Starter prompt

You are writing a stage-change note for an ATS. Expand my shorthand into a structured rationale that is specific, neutral, and fair.

My shorthand: [SHORTHAND]
Role: [TITLE]
Stage change: [FROM_STAGE] → [TO_STAGE]

Output:
1) One-sentence summary (neutral tone).
2) Evidence bullets (behavior / answer / artifact).
3) Any follow-up next step.
4) Bias check: flag anything in my shorthand that references a protected attribute or a proxy for one, and suggest a rewrite.

Do not invent evidence I didn't mention.

Caveats

- Do a human review before sending, publishing, filing, or making a decision.
- Verify numbers, names, claims, citations, and compliance-sensitive details.
- AI drafts. You decide. Final responsibility is yours.
