    We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. The posting also had "At Tufts Medicine, we want every individual to feel valued..." That's generic but could be considered boilerplate? It's about compensation philosophy. Might be considered filler but it's substantive? It's generic statement; but we already have Pay section; we could omit that paragraph as it's not specific numbers. The instruction: do not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The Tufts Medicine paragraph is generic but not placeholder; still it's not specific to the role. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit it. We also omitted "Job Description Minimum Qualifications:" heading; we used Requirements. We omitted "Duties and Responsibilities:" heading; we used Responsibilities. We omitted "Physical Requirements:" and "Skills & Abilities:" we used Skills. We omitted "Job Profile Summary" and "Job Overview" headings; we incorporated into About the role.
