PiPi Worlds — Keep the evidence when you edit
Original practice sheet, 16 October 2026

Use this locally for one paragraph, not as a complete letter template.
No account, upload, app or payment is needed. This is a manual comparison,
not automatic grading, career advice, an ATS score or a hiring prediction.

WORKED EXAMPLE
Fictional example: do not use these achievements as your own.

Role requirement: coordinate schedules and keep accurate records.
Original evidence: At a campus repair event, the writer coordinated six
volunteers across three shifts, maintained a parts/appointment checklist,
and recorded 48 completed repairs.

Proposed edit A (reject: changed responsibility):
I led six volunteers and completed 48 repairs across three shifts.
Problem: recording a result does not mean personally performing every repair.
The original supports coordination, not the new claim of completing repairs.

Proposed edit B (reject: invented improvement):
I improved repair throughput by 40% while coordinating six volunteers.
Problem: there is no before-and-after baseline, time period or 40% result
in the original evidence. A completed-repair count is not an improvement rate.

Narrower rewrite (keep for this exercise, not a complete letter):
I coordinated six volunteers across three shifts and recorded 48 completed repairs.
It keeps the supported action and scale. In a full draft, consider whether
the checklist detail or connection to the role also needs to stay.

YOUR OWN PARAGRAPH — replace the blanks with accurate, non-confidential facts.

Unknown is not zero. Do not invent a baseline or percentage.
If a number is confidential or unsupported, describe the work accurately
without it or use an approved non-confidential measure. A number is optional.
Check that each revision keeps the actor, action, scope and time period
you can support. Word count alone cannot do this.

BEFORE SENDING
[ ] Follow the specific application's instructions and file format.
[ ] Remove invented results and make individual/team contributions clear.
[ ] Compare a form's own counter if it specifies a limit.
[ ] Open the final exported document and inspect its layout.
[ ] Check the letter with the resume and request factual feedback if available.
