Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, while the phrase "implement when" appears in a variety of sources including scientific, news, and academic contexts, it is not considered grammatically correct as indicated by Ludwig AI. It requires additional context to form a complete sentence. To ensure clarity and grammatical accuracy, it is better to use phrases such as "implement after", "implement if", or specify conditions more explicitly. While frequently used, its incorrect grammatical status reduces its effectiveness in formal writing. Ludwig's analysis suggests prioritizing more precise and complete phrasing.
