Jobs that need more

- your offer before writing about prices or services;
- your strategy before suggesting a redesign;
- your proof before writing a case study.
It names the document it used, so you can check it.
Comparing your site with your brain
Because your brain says what the site should be, bernard can compare the two and tell you where they disagree. That is how the review and recommendations are made; see What is the review and recommendations page in my brain?.
