Schedule
This is a full-time position located in Boise, ID. This role is expected to work in a hybrid model, which includes three days in-office.
We must ensure no duplicate content. The intro already mentioned location/hybrid; we repeated in Schedule section. That's okay but maybe redundant. However we need to include schedule section with real content; we can keep it but maybe we should not duplicate the same sentence. Could keep schedule section short: "Hybrid model: three days in-office per week; based in Boise, ID." But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can't remove location/hybrid info entirely. We can keep it in Schedule section and maybe shorten intro to not repeat location/hybrid. However the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep all info, but we can rephrase as long as we keep the info. It's okay to have location/hybrid mentioned in both sections as long as we don't lose info. But maybe better to keep location/hybrid only in Schedule section and remove from intro to avoid duplication. However the intro also contains other substantive info about role; we can keep location/hybrid there as well but it's duplication but not loss. The instruction didn't forbid duplication, just said remove duplicated lines (like boilerplate). Duplication of substantive info may be okay but better to avoid. Let's adjust: In About the role paragraph, we can omit the location/hybrid sentence, and keep it only in Schedule. But we must ensure we didn't lose any substantive info: the location/hybrid is substantive; we keep it in Schedule. So we remove that sentence from About the role. Let's rewrite About the role paragraph without that sentence. Original intro: "
