We should not include Schedule section as not present. We should ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. We removed. Check for any leftover filler like "commensurate with experience" - we didn't include. Check for duplication: we included "Ability to Obtain" security clearance in metadata p. Check for any mention of "Salary will be commensurate to your appropriate level." we omitted. Check for any mention of "Meet HII’s Mission Technologies Division" paragraph about team size etc. We omitted that; but is that substantive? It says: "Meet HII’s Mission Technologies Division Our team of more than 7,000 professionals worldwide delivers all-domain expertise..." This is somewhat generic but could be considered About the role/company overview. Might be worth including in About the role. However we already have a paragraph about Warfare Systems. Could add a sentence about the division size. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can include that as part of About the role if we want to preserve all substantive info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should include that info if it's substantive. It's not boilerplate; it's describing the division. So we should incorporate it. Similarly "Why HII" paragraph about building ships etc. Might be considered substantive but could be considered boilerplate? It's describing the company mission; could be considered part of About the role. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The
