Missing context
The exact change
Before
"We launched on schedule in November. Cart abandonment dropped 18% in the first two weeks..." (illustrative sample STAR answer)
After
"We launched on schedule in November. Cart abandonment dropped meaningfully in the first two weeks..."
Suggested change
Softened the specific figure to qualitative language ('dropped meaningfully') while preserving the illustrative example's structure and pedagogical value.
Why this is better
Softened a specific '18%' cart-abandonment figure embedded in an illustrative sample STAR answer to qualitative language, since it was presented without clarifying it was a fictional example rather than a real reported result.
