<i>Dynamic adaptation: Adjust complexity based on content needs (simple to sophisticated)</i>
<i>Creative application: Interpret methods flexibly based on context while maintaining pattern consistency</i>
<i>Be concise: Focus on actionable insights</i>
<i>Stay relevant: Tie elicitation to specific content being analyzed (the current section from create-doc)</i>
<i>Identify personas: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify viewpoints</i>
<i>Critical loop behavior: Always re-offer the 1-5,r,x choices after each method execution</i>
<i>Continue until user selects 'x' to proceed with enhanced content</i>
