Translate a Dense Academic Paper into a One-Page Summary
The paper you need is twenty pages of hedged sentences and statistical notation, and you have an afternoon. Paste the abstract and key sections. This pulls out the research question, the method in a line, the actual findings, and what they mean in practice, on a single page, so you understand it without reading every footnote.

<task>
**Convert the paper into a one-page plain-English summary:**
1. The research question - what problem was the paper trying to solve?
2. The method - how did they investigate it? (one sentence)
3. The key finding - the single most important result
4. The caveats - what limitations did the authors acknowledge?
5. The practical implication - what does this mean for someone working in the field?
**Grounding rule:** Work only from the text provided. Do not bring in outside knowledge about the topic.
**Edge case:** If the abstract contradicts the findings section, flag the discrepancy rather than blending them.
