# Same-author lift experiment

Created: 2026-05-18T10:30:38.701914+00:00

## Summary

- Articles evaluated: 10
- Same-author before: 2/10
- Same-author after/carry-forward: 4/10
- Attempted repairs: 8
- Accepted repairs: 2
- Target: 52/10

## Method

- Transform mode: `candidate-pool`.
- Writer model: `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`.
- Prefix mode edits only the first paragraph-boundary prefix, usually around 650 words.
- Seed-intro mode rewrites the first movement against the seed excerpt used by the same-author gate.
- Intro-brief mode recomposes the first movement from a neutral factual brief.
- Section-brief mode recomposes each heading-led section from a neutral factual brief.
- Hybrid-brief-section mode uses a full-brief opening with a section-brief body.
- Candidate-pool mode tries multiple transforms and selects the best accepted same-author candidate.
- Full mode rewrites the full article while preserving headings, facts, citations, and argument sequence.
- Brief mode extracts a neutral fact brief, then writes fresh prose from that brief.
- Plain-brief mode writes from the neutral brief toward the actual seed corpus's plainer expository register.
- Reject if same-author stays false, drift/slop/repetition gets worse, or quality guard flags degradation.
