Effective Jan 1, 2027.\n\nVesting: unchanged (immediate).\n\nWhy: simpler to explain, and most employees already contribute 4% or less.\n\nWhat managers should NOT do:\n- Tell anyone how much to contribute, or whether to change their contribution.\n- Guess about anyone's taxes.\n- Anything about personal situations goes to benefits@brightline.example or the plan's advisor line, 1-800-555-0177.\n\nFYI for HR only: about 22% of employees contribute 6%, and their match drops slightly. Expect questions from them. Don't put the 22% figure in manager materials.\n\nManager talking points are read aloud in team meetings.","rules":[{"type":"maxBullets","max":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":90},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for 'a summary for managers'","why":"The AI writes a memo with headings, a FAQ and a rationale section.","fix":"Be exact: \"Exactly 3 bullets, one sentence each, plain text.\"","checks":["maxBullets","plainText"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting.
