# Pattern 12 (en): False Ranges — Success Case

## Input Text

> The platform serves everyone from busy executives to stay-at-home parents, spanning everything from project management to personal wellness. Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur or a first-time freelancer, the tools adapt to your workflow. The features range from simple task tracking to advanced AI-driven analytics, making it suitable for individuals and teams alike.

## Expected Output

> The platform has three tiers. The free tier covers task lists and a shared calendar. The Pro tier ($12/month) adds time tracking, invoicing, and a client portal. The Enterprise tier includes SSO, audit logs, and a dedicated account manager. About 60% of paying users are freelancers; the rest are teams of 5 to 20 people.

## Applied Pattern

- Pattern 12 (False Ranges): Three decorative ranges in one paragraph — "from busy executives to stay-at-home parents," "from project management to personal wellness," and "from simple task tracking to advanced AI-driven analytics." None of these pairs define a meaningful spectrum; the endpoints are chosen for rhetorical breadth, not informational precision.

## Judgment

**Success** — The fire condition is met: three "from X to Y" constructions appear, and in each case the two poles do not meaningfully bound a spectrum. "Busy executives" and "stay-at-home parents" are not opposite ends of a user scale — they are two arbitrarily chosen personas. "Project management" and "personal wellness" are unrelated categories, not a continuum. The corrected version replaces all three decorative ranges with concrete product tiers, specific features, pricing, and an actual user breakdown with a real numeric range (teams of 5 to 20) that does bound a meaningful spectrum.
