Crossword Genius

Supervise a review that is influential (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

persuasive

'is influential' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'supervise a review' is the wordplay.
'review' is an anagram indicator.
'supervise'+'a'='supervisea'
'supervisea' with letters rearranged gives 'PERSUASIVE'.

'that' is the link.

(Other definitions for persuasive that I've seen before include "Convincing" , "Providing sound reasoning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
