SOURCE-BASED ANALYSIS · NO HANDS-ON RATING
Convert policy prose into rule types
Jasper's Style Guide supports grammar and punctuation settings, replacement and abbreviation rules, case sensitivity and custom instructions. Begin with a source document that has an owner and approval date. Split broad policy paragraphs into individual decisions so a reviewer can tell when each one should apply.
| Policy need | Rule form | Acceptance example |
|---|---|---|
| Product casing | Case-sensitive term | Correct the wrong casing but leave an unrelated word alone |
| Preferred customer term | Replacement rule | Replace only the defined meaning and its plural |
| First-use abbreviation | Abbreviation rule | Expand the first mention and preserve later shorthand |
| Context-dependent caution | Custom instruction | Apply only when the stated condition is present |
Review imported suggestions as a draft
Jasper describes automatic extraction from source documents as a starting point that should be reviewed and refined. Compare every extracted setting with the source paragraph. Reject rules whose scope cannot be explained, and rewrite ambiguous instructions before they reach generated content.
Test both matches and non-matches
For each rule, create one sentence that should change, one that should remain unchanged and one edge case involving casing, pluralisation or a quoted name. This prevents a term rule from rewriting an unrelated context. The examples are policy fixtures; they do not claim a measured accuracy rate.
Resolve default scope deliberately
Jasper documents workspace-level and project-level defaults, with one active style guide at a time. Record which guide should control each project and who may edit it. If multiple brands share a workspace, avoid a universal default until the team has confirmed that an override is visible and understood in every relevant workflow.
- Inventory the approved source documents.
- Assign each rule to a type and owner.
- Review any extracted recommendations against the source.
- Run match, non-match and edge-case fixtures.
- Publish with a named scope and rollback owner.
- Recheck the active guide after project or workspace changes.
Audit without inventing performance claims
Track the rule version, change reason, fixtures, review date and known exceptions. Suggestion metrics can help identify rules that deserve inspection, but they do not by themselves prove that a rule improved content quality.
