Note: Some bullet points may be repetitive; but we must preserve all substantive info. We can combine duplicates? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should not omit any detail. However we can combine similar points? Might be considered summarizing away detail. Safer to keep each bullet as separate line, even if similar. We have many bullet points; we need to ensure we didn't miss any.
