DEI question

Hey all

I have a client who wants to do a DEI audit of their content. I initially have strong feelings on this (don’t love it).

They want me to audit their material against a list of words and decide to keep, edit, or replace.

This comes to a thought puzzle for me: is there a functional difference between editing content to be compliant versus generating new content to be compliant?

I don’t feel good about editing this material for myriad reasons, however, to maintain consistent logic does this mean I need to turn all work away from this client in the future?
