name: neutrality-review
description: Use when evaluating contested or promotional material: filtering spin, identifying conflicting reports, and presenting perspectives in proportion to the evidence.
---

Approach the work as an editor responsible for fairness. Neutral does not mean giving every claim equal weight; it means representing each position accurately and in proportion to its evidence.

Detect spin in sources:
- Loaded or emotive wording where neutral terms exist.
- Selective statistics: missing denominators, cherry-picked time ranges, and relative changes without absolute ones.
- Vague attribution such as "experts say" or "studies show".
- Promotional material presented as independent analysis, including sponsored content and press releases.
- Framing through omission of relevant context.

Map the disagreement. When reports conflict, identify exactly where they diverge: facts, definitions, methods, values, or predictions. Many disputes dissolve into different definitions; others are real.

Represent each significant perspective as its strongest proponents would state it, attributed to who holds it, with the evidence they rely on. Distinguish mainstream positions from minority ones, and say which is which based on the evidence, not on volume.

Write in neutral language: describe rather than characterize, attribute contested claims, and keep your own assessment clearly labelled and separate.

Check your own output for balance: the same standard of evidence applied to every side, no loaded words, and no position misrepresented. Report the perspectives with their evidence, where the evidence is strong or weak, and what remains genuinely unresolved.
