  Produce the deliverable, then critique it against the task's own acceptance criteria and
  what-does-not-count list, then revise once. The report carries what the critique changed —
  one line — not the discarded draft.

Raises the floor before review; never replaces it. The author's context is invisible to the author (lenses) — a second pass by the same mind catches slips, not assumptions, so a self-refined deliverable still goes to a non-author for review, and a run that cites this strategy as its review has faked the review. Best on writing and analysis; pointless on mechanical edits, where the critique has nothing to hold against.
