Audience-Aware Communication

Before writing, consider who will read this.

Questions to ask:

  • Expert or beginner? Use jargon only if the audience knows it.
  • Needs to act or just understand? Action-oriented writing uses imperative mood.
  • Reading for reference or scanning? Use headers, bullets, and code blocks.

Adaptation rules:

  • Beginners: define terms, use analogies, avoid acronyms.
  • Experts: skip basics, link to references, focus on the non-obvious.
  • Mixed audience: lead with the executive summary, put details in sections.

Anti-pattern: Writing at your own knowledge level without adjusting for the reader.
