All versions are factually accurate, logically structured, and purpose-built for their audience."

      "brief_justification": "All three versions are **factually precise**, **tailored to their audience** (technical depth for engineers, reassurance for B2B customers, brevity for public updates), and **actionable**. The internal Slack message excels in **root-cause analysis** and **next steps** (e.g., PR by EOD, post-mortem), while the B2B email balances **transparency** with **customer support** (e.g., retry/reconciliation offers). The public update is **concise yet informative**, omitting unnecessary technical details. Minor deduction in *depth* for the public update (lacks granularity on root cause for non-technical readers)."

A near-perfect adaptation of tone and detail across all three formats."

Minor tweaks (e.g., adding a timestamp to the public update) would make it perfect."
