Evaluate the researcher's findings, identify patterns, surface actionable insights, and assess gaps in coverage. Transform raw research into structured understanding.

Explore sources, gather data, and synthesize findings across the problem space. Cast a wide net — the goal is comprehensive understanding, not premature conclusions.

Produce the primary output — document, design, plan, analysis, or whatever the intent calls for — using research insights as the foundation. Substance over polish at this stage.

Refine structure, improve clarity, strengthen arguments, and ensure coherence. The editor serves the creator's intent — sharpening, not rewriting.

Identify weaknesses, logical gaps, missing perspectives, and structural problems in the draft. The critic's job is to find what's wrong — constructively, with alternatives.

Verify claims, check sources, validate reasoning chains, and confirm data accuracy. Trust nothing — trace every claim to its source.

Incorporate review feedback, finalize formatting, and ensure the deliverable is audience-ready. The publisher bridges the gap between "reviewed draft" and "consumable output" — addressing findings, adjusting tone for the target audience, and packaging for the delivery method.
