The reader’s situation
Customer context, internal work and technical systems often overlap. The proposed reader is a small software company serving business customers and wants to prepare an accurate, on-brand piece of writing.
The specific decision
Separate recurring licence charges from usage, credits and taxes. Keep test data separate from production customer records.
Proposed evaluation
Prepare a 400-word service page, a short email and a paragraph requiring factual correction.
- Request or construct a line-item estimate from the current official pricing page.
- Reproduce one incident handoff with a clear owner and audit trail.
- Provide a short brief, a style sample and a list of permitted facts.
Evidence to gather
- The current official documentation for the exact plan and feature.
- The plan name, region, billing term and date of each price checked.
- An original trial record showing the input, output and observed limitation.
- A clear explanation of how this lens changes the buying decision for this audience.
- Evidence that this page answers a distinct reader need rather than repeating another guide.
Questions for the category
- What content may be retained or used by the provider?
- Which limits apply to your actual drafting and editing workflow?
- Can your editor work in the applications they already use?
Editorial acceptance criteria
A finished article should answer its decision question with evidence and a concrete example. Merge it into an existing guide if the answer is materially the same. Remove irrelevant candidate tools, explain uncertainty and keep pricing claims dated.
