What you’re working towards
A faithful paraphrase with a sentence-to-source map, preserved uncertainty and explicit source attribution supplied by the user. This is an authored practice example; no consumer AI run or real participant trial has been recorded.

Make a start
One step at a time.
2 steps
Start with the synthetic worked example or other non-sensitive inputs. Run one prompt at a time in your chosen AI tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with the requested material, check each reply, and supply the source or earlier outputs that step needs. Paste them again if the tool lacks that context.
Start with the synthetic example, then adapt each prompt to your task.
01
Try the complete example
Open a new chat in a text AI assistant you already have permission to use. Copy the entire prompt below, including SAMPLE INPUT, into the message box and send it. No upload or special tool is needed. Expect an attributed paraphrase with a sentence-to-source map that retains the source’s uncertainty. Compare the result with Input; Output is a worked illustration, not text you need to paste. The illustrative paragraph has 50 whitespace-separated words including attribution, within 40–60. It keeps two sessions, several volunteers, actual label use and unmeasured search time. Fictional Club Notes (2026) appears once; no title, link, page or measured benefit is added. If a detail differs, paste: “This part is wrong: [quote it]. My input says: [quote the exact source line or rule]. Return a complete corrected replacement and explain the change.” Recheck it yourself. If the source is missing or contradictory, leave that part unresolved and obtain the needed fact before using it.
Your starting prompt
Write the requested 40–60-word paraphrase, including the exact supplied attribution once. Preserve every quantity and qualification, use a genuinely different sentence structure and no direct quotation, then map each new sentence to S1, S2 or the supplied attribution. State the word count using whitespace-separated words. Keep the map outside the word count and do not invent citation details.
SAMPLE INPUT
Original synthetic practice input. The people, organizations, records and events below are fictional.
Complete original synthetic passage, created for this exercise:
S1. “In our two trial sessions, several volunteers used the new labels.”
S2. “We did not time their searches, so the trials cannot show whether the labels made retrieval faster.”
Supplied attribution: author or organization = Fictional Club Notes; year = 2026. No title, page number, publisher, URL or other bibliographic detail is supplied. Use the exact attribution “Fictional Club Notes (2026)” in the paraphrase; this is a fictional attribution, not a claim that a publication exists.
Audience: adult club volunteers. Write one paragraph of 40–60 words, counting whitespace-separated words and including attribution. Keep two sessions, several volunteers, label use and the unmeasured-speed limitation. Do not replace several with most or all. Use original sentence structure and ordinary wording; no direct quotation in the paragraph. Follow with a sentence-to-source map outside the word limit. Do not add approval, measured benefits or new source details.
Return written text only. Keep this fictional and label illustrative dialogue as invented. Do not claim an actual interview, survey, learner trial or tool execution. Do not send, publish, collect responses or change another service.
02
Use your own input
Open a new chat. Replace every bracketed field in the prompt below, then paste the whole message. Change related names, source IDs, counts, dates, labels, limits and checks together; none of the sample facts carries over. Use only your own, authorized non-sensitive material. Expect the same kind of complete result using your inputs. Read each paraphrase sentence next to its cited source sentence. Check attribution, quantities and uncertainty, count the words under your chosen rule, and look for copied sentence structure. A fluent rewrite can still distort a source. If a detail differs, paste: “This part is wrong: [quote it]. My input says: [quote the exact source line or rule]. Return a complete corrected replacement and explain the change.” Recheck it yourself. If the source is missing or contradictory, leave that part unresolved and obtain the needed fact before using it.
Your starting prompt
Paraphrase my complete authorized short source for the supplied reader and word limit. Use meaningfully different sentence structure, not a synonym-by-synonym copy. Preserve quantities, conditions, uncertainty and the difference between an observation and what it cannot establish. Include only my supplied attribution metadata in the requested form. Follow with a sentence-to-source map outside the paragraph’s word count. Respect my quotation policy and keep missing citation details unresolved.
MY INPUT
Complete short source passage with sentence IDs and permission basis: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Exact attribution metadata and required attribution form: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Intended adult audience: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Word limit and word-count convention, including whether attribution counts: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Facts, quantities and qualifications that must survive: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Direct-quotation policy and missing citation details: [replace with complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Use only MY INPUT for facts, names, dates, counts and constraints. Ask about essential missing information or conflicting rules instead of guessing. Do not import any practice-example values. Return the complete requested result, unresolved questions and checks tied to my input. Do not send, publish, collect responses, buy, book or change another service.
Optional: improve the result
Catch a stronger claim in a bad paraphrase
Use the original passage to diagnose overstatement. This optional extension uses only the original synthetic sample. Return to the sample chat, or paste its complete Input into a new chat first. To use it with your own material, replace the source and every dependent rule, number and check explicitly.
Advanced prompt
Assess this deliberately wrong paraphrase of the original sample: “Fictional Club Notes (2026) proved that all volunteers found items faster with the labels.” Identify each unsupported strengthening and return a corrected 40–60-word paragraph with the supplied attribution and a sentence-to-source map. Do not invent additional trials or measurements.

Paraphrase, 50 words including attribution
Fictional Club Notes (2026) describes several volunteers using new labels during two trial sessions. Because search times were never measured, those sessions provide no basis for deciding whether the labels helped people find things more quickly. The account establishes that labels were used, while leaving their effect on speed unresolved.
Sentence-to-source map
- Sentence 1 → S1 plus supplied attribution: retains two trial sessions, several volunteers and use of new labels. It attributes the account without inventing a title or link.
- Sentence 2 → S2: searches were not timed, so the source cannot establish whether retrieval became faster. “Find things more quickly” expresses retrieval speed in ordinary words.
- Sentence 3 → S1–S2 together: the account supports that labels were used but leaves the effect on speed unresolved. This is not a claim that the labels had no effect.
Meaning check
The paragraph changes structure rather than merely swapping synonyms, retains the small scope and uncertainty, and includes the supplied credit once. The map is an explanation of the paraphrase, not additional evidence. Any formal bibliography requiring a title, page or URL must wait for that information.
These checks use the worked example and its particular facts. With your own material, check your actual names, numbers, sources and rules; do not reuse the sample’s values as the answer.
Unsaved checks stay in this tab and reset when you reload. If you choose Save guide, its current example checkmarks are kept in this browser when storage is available.

A few things to watch for.
“Cannot show whether it helped” does not mean “showed that it did not help.”
Attribution is still needed when the wording changes. Never invent a page or URL to make the credit look complete.
