# Pattern 32 (en): Comparison Adverb Overuse — Success Case

## Input Text

> The initiative will enable more specific milestones, more efficient resource allocation, and more comprehensive stakeholder alignment. Moving forward, the team should develop a more strategic framework for more meaningful collaboration across departments.

## Expected Output

> The initiative needs dated milestones, named owners, and a budget review. The team also needs one shared plan for partner handoffs, because the current spreadsheet has three conflicting owners for the same launch tasks.

## Applied Pattern

- Pattern 32 (Comparison Adverb Overuse): five vague comparative phrases appear in one paragraph — "more specific", "more efficient", "more comprehensive", "more strategic", and "more meaningful" — without a target, baseline, or metric.
- Pattern 7 (AI Vocabulary Words): co-fires lightly on "comprehensive" and "stakeholder" phrasing, which reinforces the formal AI register.

## Judgment

**Success** — The fire condition is met because the paragraph uses repeated "more + adjective" claims while never saying what the new plan is more specific, efficient, or strategic than. The rewrite preserves the intended needs — milestones, budget, alignment, and collaboration — but replaces decorative comparison with concrete actions, named ownership, and the actual coordination problem.
