## Round 1: 3 issue(s), sent back to the writer

- line 1 "Last week's "best open model" claim came from a vendor-friendly blog.": Last week's 'best open model' claim came from a vendor-friendly blog. — not supported by the sources (suggested: "Last week's 'best open model' claim was only a vendor-claim from a blog.")
- line 2 "Now Artificial Analysis, which runs a head-to-head voice arena, has published the numbers. Breeze TTS 2 sits around twelve hundred on its rating, ninety points ahead of Fish Audio S2 Pro, and sixth overall.": Artificial Analysis runs a head-to-head voice arena — a gloss must define a term that appears in the line and the sources
- line 3 "That changes the footing. Before, it was just the blog talking. Now a named arena operator's figures sit behind the local-runnable call.": Now a named arena operator's figures sit behind the local-runnable call. — not supported by the sources (suggested: "That changes the footing. Before, it was just the blog talking. Now Artificial Analysis itself has confirmed the open-weight lead.")

Round 1 warnings (sent back, never blocking):

- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "Now Artificial Analysis, which runs a head-to-head voice arena, has published the numbers. Breeze TTS 2 sits around twelve hundred on its rating, ninety points ahead of Fish Audio S2 Pro, and sixth overall." (terms: TTS) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word
- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "The summary calls that a significant caveat, a non-starter for many commercial projects. So it's the top open-weight model there, but check the license before building on it." (terms: open-weight) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word

Round 2 warnings (sent back, never blocking):

- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "That changes the footing. Before, it was just the blog talking. Now Artificial Analysis itself has confirmed the open-weight lead." (terms: open-weight) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word

## Round 3: 2 issue(s), sent back to the writer

- line 3 "That's a big jump from last week's vendor claim.": The confirmation is a big jump from last week's vendor claim — Sources show the Sep 14 #1 claim was labeled vendor-claim and Sep 21 was confirmed by Artificial Analysis. Nothing describes a 'big jump'; the ranking claim is the same, only the confidence level changed. (suggested: "That firms up last week's vendor claim with an independent confirmation.")
- delivery/interjection_openers: "Right. Artificial Analysis, an arena operator, confirms Breeze TTS 2 leads the downloadable model category by ninety points over Fish Audio S2 Pro." — rewrite for the ear: drop the interjection opener; put the reaction in words

Round 3 warnings (sent back, never blocking):

- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "A new leader tops the open-weights speech charts." (terms: open-weights) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word
- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "Right. Artificial Analysis, an arena operator, confirms Breeze TTS 2 leads the downloadable model category by ninety points over Fish Audio S2 Pro." (terms: TTS) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word

Round 4 warnings (sent back, never blocking):

- delivery/unglossed_jargon: "Independent analysis confirms Breeze TTS 2 leads that category by ninety points over Fish Audio S2 Pro." (terms: TTS) — gloss each term in plain words in the same line, or swap it for the plain word
