- Perfectly symmetrical sections (same length = AI fingerprint)
- ALL markdown headers: ##, ###, ####, **Bold Section Title:** strip every single one. Write plain text only.
- Repeated explanations: if cleaning, polarity, or power is in two sections, merge them into the first occurrence and remove the second.
- "Cause:" / "Fix:" / "Example:" labels these are documentation format, not blog format. Integrate into prose.
BAD: "**Cause:** Mismatched firmware versions. **Fix:** Validate compatibility before deployment."
GOOD: "Firmware mismatches are rarely obvious. In one deployment, optics initialized cleanly but started flapping under load — the issue turned out to be a version mismatch between switch and transceiver firmware that only surfaced under realistic traffic."
- Repeated MMFSMF transitions: if the cabling change is explained more than once, merge into one place.
- "fraught with hidden risks" or similar fear-selling language replace with "introduces additional operational considerations"
- "When Not to Use" as a bullet list integrate into prose: "In smaller environments or legacy MMF deployments, the overhead of validation and migration can outweigh the cost advantage."
- "Example:" as a standalone label before a quote weave the example into the surrounding paragraph naturally.
REPLACE WITH:
- Natural, slightly imperfect flow

"$350 optic → $18,000 problem" must include: 2 engineers × 6h × $120/h = $1,440 troubleshooting, missed maintenance window = SLA penalty, customer escalation = business damage.
The number has to be traceable or it won't be believed.
28. HOOK PUNCH CHECK: Does the hook make the reader physically stop?
28. CAUSE/FIX/EXAMPLE LABELS (HARD FAIL): Search for "Cause:", "Fix:", "Example:" as standalone labels before explanations.
REMOVE ALL. Integrate into prose narrative.
BAD: "Cause: Firmware mismatch. Fix: Validate before deployment."
GOOD: "Firmware mismatches are rarely obvious. In one deployment, links started flapping under load — it turned out to be a version mismatch between switch and transceiver firmware that only surfaced under realistic traffic conditions."
29. HOOK PUNCH CHECK: Does the hook make the reader physically stop?
WEAK: "You're about to sign a PO for 400G optics."
STRONG: "You're about to spend $400,000 on optics. Here's how to accidentally turn it into a $2M problem."
If the hook lacks a concrete number or consequence, strengthen it.
