What is the copy telling you?

Pattern Signal Copy diagnostic
Copy that stops you: One option is harder to choose. The copy feels like a wall. If your copy stops a user, the product stopped them first. Ask why.
Copy that confuses you: The verb doesn’t match the element. Three words for the same thing. If the verb feels off, ask who decided.
Copy that needs care: A TK or placeholder shipped. The copy disappears when you need it. TK is an open issue. Flag it before you fix it.
Copy that’s missing: You need to explain the label. The URL isn’t guessable. If you need to explain the label, the label isn’t done yet.
When you’re stuck: Nothing stands out. Everything feels equally important. If everything feels important, nothing is. Ask what one thing the copy should say.
