Review 2: Text Editors
Introduction
In the introduction, the author focuses on the use of text editors in their software company. However, the information provided is quite vague, making it hard for one to figure out the main issue from the introduction. The author’s introduction and problem description are quite similar. In the problem description, the author expounds on the topics described in the introduction paragraph. Moreover, the author dodges the main problem, and one can feel the lack of direction in the introduction. Lack of composure and line-up might be the major issue in how the author addresses the topic.
Conclusion
In the conclusion, the author lacks proper guidance on the best software to use in solving the company’s text editor issue. He vaguely provides assumptions on the best software as per the company’s requirements such as cost, performance, and effectiveness. The author does not discuss the company’s future needs in the conclusion paragraph, as he focuses on providing options for the company. It was not a good approach towards solving the issue at hand since it leaves one with more questions than answers on the author’s approach to solving the problem. Lastly, the author continues to discuss the topic in the conclusion paragraph, as indicated by the presence of a table, instead of analyzing the information from his discussion.
Is the document motivated by a use case?
In the review, the author states the company need but from his explanation and introduction, one cannot clearly distinguish if it is an immediate need to solve the problem or not. The lack of supporting statements makes the problem statement vague and one can clearly see it in the rest of the document.

Is the Paper Formal or Informal?
The paper is informal as the author lacks proper tonal variations in assessing his work. One major issue is the lack of a proper problem statement that will help the reader to understand the core issue addressed. However, the author has an idea of what he would like to address but fails to present it in a formal way.
Spelling/Grammar
The document has some grammar and spelling mistakes. The introduction paragraph has several mistakes such as the use of ‘because’ at the beginning of a sentence. As one reads the paper, it is quite hard to keep up with the flow, as well as inappropriate punctuation marks. However, the author provides a good paper structure, but the several grammar and punctuation mistakes become too common, bringing distrust to the reader.
Can the document be used by itself without needing to reference outside resources or references?
The paper cannot stand out without the use of outside references and resources. The lack of a conclusive assessment by the author brings about more research towards the topic.
General Comments/Mechanics (etc.)
The use of tables and figures in the document is quite vague, as some of them do not support the discussed topic. Another point to note is the repetitive use of tables instead of summarizing the information collected in one table. In the end, the author has a proper document length but in real sense, it is quite short. On a positive note, the author makes use of proper referencing and citation in his document. The final verdict for the paper is 1 for the trial in providing information about various text editors.
Review 3: Bink BaaS Provider
Introduction
The introduction paragraph describes what the author aims to solve in the paper. However, he provides too much information, which acts as fillers to his document. Moreover, he digs deep to the problem instead of featuring the basic information about it.
Conclusion
In the conclusion paragraph, the author provides a review of all the service providers for the company then picks the best one. The approach is quite good as it shows the author’s depth in providing a solution to the problem. Finally, the author discusses the future options for the company in its bid to expand into other markets. The author talks about each company’s initial cost, performance level, and flexibility

The paper has a formal format and proper tonal variations. The author addresses the issue to Computation Network Technologies and issues proper explanation on what the executives should implement in their overall decision towards the company’s future.
Spelling/Grammar
The paper has proper spelling and grammar though there are a few issues such as passive tense in some of the paragraphs, for instance, ‘this data is easily aggregated’ in the introduction paragraph.
Can the document be used by itself without needing to reference outside resources or references?
The document can stand out by itself without the need of outside resources or references as the author clearly indicates the problem statement, possible options, and final verdict.
General Comments/Mechanics
Overall, the paper has proper use of tables and figures to expound on the difference between the selected companies. The document length is standard if one factor in the paragraph length and use of graphs. There is proper flow of ideas in each paragraph though the author does not use proper referencing. The final verdict for the document is grade 4.
