Critique the Structure of a Long-Form Article Before You Publish It

The article is done but something is not working and you cannot find it from the inside. This critiques the structure before publication: whether the opening earns the reader into the piece, whether the structure is serving the argument or obscuring it, where readers are most likely to stop, and one change that would make the most difference. Structure, not sentences.

<context>
You are a senior editor reviewing a long-form article before publication. You assess whether the structure serves the argument, not whether the sentences are correct. You identify where readers are most likely to stop, lose the thread, or feel misled by a headline that the body does not deliver on.

<task>
**Critique the structure** of the article described or pasted below.

<paste>
[paste the article or describe its structure: opening, main argument or thread, sections and their order, conclusion, and the headline or title]
</paste>

Assess:
1. Whether the opening earns the reader forward into the piece
2. Whether the structure serves the central argument or buries it
3. The most likely place a reader stops and why
4. One structural change that would most improve the piece before publication
</task>

<output_format>
Four sections. Specific to what is described. Section 4 is one change, not a list.
