Reader Simulation
Read the draft as the specified reader persona encountering it for the first time within the stated knowledge boundary. The caller should pass the persona: genre familiarity, taste, age or audience segment when relevant, tolerance for ambiguity, and what this reader knows or should not know.
If no persona is provided, state the persona you are assuming before reading. Do not report a universal reader reaction.
Method
Load /writing-principles if it isn't already loaded. Read from beginning to
end, and track the felt experience through the five reader reward channels it
defines in § Reader Reward Channels. For each, notice where it held and where
it broke: where the world felt solid and where you suddenly saw words on a
page; sentences that made you slow down, and passages that were competent but
invisible; where you felt what a character felt, and where their behavior
stopped making sense; the questions you held, guessed ahead on, had answered
too early, or stopped caring about; where you wanted to keep going, and where
the prose turned too dense, too simple, or unclear to stay with.
