Acts on David's editorial review of PolicyEngine/policyengine-app-v2#1073, applied to the page that actually ships rather than the markdown post it reviewed.

His #2, the "model" collision — the highest-value item, and correct. The word carried two meanings and they sat close together: "The tools UK Chat exposes to the model" (the LLM) near "run through the model to produce taxes, benefits, and net income" and "reports what the model calculates" (both PolicyEngine). Adopted the convention he proposed — "language model" for the LLM, "the engine" or "PolicyEngine UK model" for the microsimulation, never bare "model" where either could be meant. All 27 uses are now qualified, including the boundary diagram's accessible description and the section heading, which is now "The language model proposes a plan".

His #6, on the engine reference. Accurate but dense on first read. Now: "a machine-readable description of what the deployed engine can compute: its capabilities and parameter schema", keeping the load-bearing point that it is tied to the deployed version rather than a hand-written prompt that drifts.

One canonical chat URL — the call to action points at policyengine.org/uk/chat instead of the vercel.app host, which is what both David (#7) and Max asked for. That route ships with app-v2#1073 and 404s until it merges, so the two need to land together.

Already resolved before this review, so no change needed: "tool surface" jargon (#5) is gone, "excited to announce" (#1) and "pairs the language strengths" (#3) are not on the page, the GPT-5.5 model name is dropped and the 80.3% figure was verified against the PolicyBench source (#8), and the title now matches across the page and apps.json (#9).

The Markdown copy is regenerated to match.

"Model" carried two meanings and collided — the language model and the
PolicyEngine microsimulation, sometimes a clause apart. "The tools UK Chat
exposes to the model" sat near "run through the model to produce taxes,
benefits, and net income" and "reports what the model calculates". Adopted the
convention he proposed: "language model" for the LLM, "the engine" or
"PolicyEngine UK model" for the microsimulation, and no bare "model" where
either could be meant. All 27 uses are now qualified, including the boundary
diagram's accessible description and the section heading.

Also his point on the engine reference, which was accurate but dense: it now
reads "a machine-readable description of what the deployed engine can compute:
its capabilities and parameter schema", keeping the load-bearing point that it
is tied to the deployed version rather than a drifting prompt.

The call to action now points at policyengine.org/uk/chat rather than the
vercel.app host, which is the canonical URL both David and Max asked for. Note
that route ships with PolicyEngine/policyengine-app-v2#1073 and 404s until then.
