## Prompt

```text
Review my draft e-learning module or storyboard before it goes to development or launch.

**Objectives:** [LIST]
**Learners:** [WHO and their context]
**Draft:** [PASTE STORYBOARD, SCRIPT, OR SCREEN-BY-SCREEN TEXT]
**Constraints:** [length limit, authoring tool, stakeholder must-haves]

Review against these criteria:
1. Alignment: does every section serve an objective, and does every objective get practice and assessment?
2. Relevance: does it open with why it matters to the learner and use realistic job examples?
3. Cognitive load: chunk size, text density, unnecessary detail, redundant narration and on-screen text, decorative visuals that distract.
4. Practice: are learners making decisions and applying content, or just clicking next and answering recall questions?
5. Feedback: is it explanatory and tied to consequences?
6. Navigation and usability: clear instructions, consistent controls, progress indicators, no forced locking without reason.
7. Tone and language: plain, consistent, inclusive, learner-focused.
8. Accessibility basics.

Return:
1. An overall verdict and the 3 biggest problems to fix first.
2. A table: Screen or section | Issue | Criterion | Suggested fix | Severity.
3. Rewrites for the 3 weakest screens.
4. Content that could be cut or moved to a job aid.

Do not alter technical facts; flag doubtful content as [CONFIRM WITH SME].
