Audit the tone of my cover letter for a startup. Letter: [COVER_LETTER]. The company's website voice and a sample of its posts: [COMPANY_VOICE]. Role: [ROLE]. Compare my letter to the company's voice on formality, humour, jargon, length and energy. Flag lines that sound overly formal, overconfident, flippant or generic. Check whether I show how I work in ambiguity, with evidence, and whether the ask is clear. Return an annotated version with comments in brackets after each paragraph, a tone score from 1 to 10 with reasoning, and a rewrite of the weakest paragraph. Avoid inventing claims about the company; use only the voice sample I provided. Add a check of the sign-off and subject line, and one test for length: could the letter be read on a phone in under a minute? Suggest where a short, specific story would replace a general claim, and list any phrase that would feel out of place in the company's own writing.
