You have three comparable generations and a record of what changed. Now choose the strongest candidate for the song’s purpose, diagnose one meaningful weakness and make one controlled improvement.
Start → Make → Improve → Continue
Prerequisite: Complete Generate Three Controlled Options. Keep your Song Direction Brief, test question and first-pass notes beside you.
Select one version and complete one documented revision
Compare the three versions against the same criteria, choose one candidate, identify one highest-value change and generate one revised version.
Choose against the brief
The most surprising version is not automatically the strongest song. Return to the Song Direction Brief and ask which version best performs the emotional purpose, musical identity, vocal role and movement the song requires.
Score the same five criteria
Musical home: Is the primary identity coherent?
Vocal fit: Does the performance serve the message?
Movement: Does the song develop from opening to peak?
Usable foundation: Can the main weakness be improved without rebuilding everything?
Use a 1–5 score for each version, then support each score with one observation.
Name the winner and the reason
It is strongest because: __________
The tested variable helped by: __________
I am not choosing the other versions because: __________
