This mirrors my thoughts. A page of boiler play text with some check boxes, with some checked vs unchecked is going to be 99.8% similar between companies as well. A lot of audits are very much forms with boiler plate and fill in the blank. There is no point rewriting everything from scratch.

And those headlines read like Gemini's "punchy" writing.

boilerplate is one word. sorry for the nit, feel free to backpfeifengesicht

I don't think that is an important point.

[jiveturkey]

it does highlight the efficiency value of boilerplate. you only have to proof it once, really well of course. all downstream instances get the benefit of that one very good review.

boilerplate overlap is expected, no one rewrites these from scratch

though when everything lines up the same way across hundreds of reports, it gets weird...

I mean look at those reports; same pagination, same auditor showing up almost everywhere, no exceptions across all clients.. not even efficient templates should be like that

you still expect variation in scope, findings, structure, even if the base language is reused

big signal
