Quality bar

• One core objective is visible.
• The opening is direct and emotionally regulated.
• It includes empathy without surrendering the main point.
• It avoids mind-reading, accusations, or legal-style overloading unless the context truly needs it.

Limits

• Abuse, coercion, or safety threats require stronger support than conversational rehearsal.
• Some contexts need documentation or specialist advice.
• The other person may still react badly even if the language is strong.
• Role-play guidance only, with no live outreach or message sending.
