# Pattern 25: Metronomic Paragraph Structure — Success

## Input Text

> Remote work has grown rapidly since 2020. A Gallup survey found that 56% of U.S. workers now have jobs that can be done remotely. This shift represents a fundamental change in workplace culture.
>
> Coworking spaces have emerged as a popular alternative. WeWork reported a 30% increase in memberships last year. This trend signals a new model for how people balance flexibility and social connection.
>
> Video conferencing technology has improved significantly. Zoom's daily meeting participants grew from 10 million in 2019 to over 300 million by 2023. This development underscores the central role of technology in enabling distributed teams.

## Expected Output

> Fifty-six percent of U.S. workers now have remote-capable jobs, according to Gallup. That is up from roughly 30% before 2020.
>
> Not everyone works from home, though. WeWork memberships rose 30% last year. People want flexibility, but they also want to leave the house.
>
> The infrastructure held up better than expected. Zoom went from 10 million daily participants in 2019 to 300 million by 2023 — and the reliability complaints that plagued early pandemic calls have mostly disappeared.

## Applied Pattern

- Pattern 25 (Metronomic Paragraph Structure): All three paragraphs follow the identical template: general claim, then statistic as evidence, then interpretive "significance" sentence. The structure is claim-evidence-significance repeated three times without variation.

## Judgment

**Success** — The fire condition is met: 3 consecutive paragraphs follow the same internal template (claim → evidence → significance). Each paragraph opens with a broad topic statement, supports it with one data point, and closes with an interpretive sentence using signal words ("represents," "signals," "underscores"). The corrected version varies paragraph shape: the first leads with the data, the second opens with a counterpoint, and the third starts with an evaluative observation.
