Shorten this text to a limit. The text: [TEXT]. Current word count and the limit: [CURRENT_AND_LIMIT]. The points that must stay: [MUST_KEEP]. The audience and purpose: [AUDIENCE_AND_PURPOSE].

Plan the cuts before making them: calculate how many words must go (1,200 down to 900 is 300 words, 25 percent) and where they come from, in this order of preference: repetition, long introductions, qualifiers and filler, examples beyond the best one, then detail the audience does not need. Do not cut numbers, names, dates or conditions that change the meaning. The main points must survive and I must see exactly what was cut.

Output: the cutting plan with estimated savings; the shortened text; a table of what was removed with the reason; any point that could not be kept within the limit and what you recommend; and any place where shortening risked changing the meaning, with an alternative wording that uses more words.
