# Pattern 1 (en): Undue Emphasis on Significance — Success Case

## Input Text

> The company's new project management feature represents a groundbreaking paradigm shift in how teams collaborate on everyday tasks. This revolutionary, game-changing update marks an unprecedented milestone in workplace productivity software, transforming the landscape of how modern organizations operate.

## Expected Output

> The company added a shared task board to its project management tool. Teams can now assign subtasks, set due dates, and leave comments in one view. The feature launched in beta with 200 enterprise customers in Q2.

## Applied Pattern

- Pattern 1 (Undue Emphasis on Significance): "groundbreaking", "paradigm shift", "revolutionary", "game-changing", "unprecedented milestone", "transforming the landscape" — six emphasis words clustered in two sentences describing a routine software feature update.

## Judgment

**Success** — The fire condition is clearly met: four superlative emphasis words ("groundbreaking", "revolutionary", "game-changing", "unprecedented") applied to an ordinary task-board feature. None of the language is proportionate to the actual scope of the change. The corrected version replaces inflation with specifics: what the feature does, how it works, and who is using it.
