# Technical Communication

Lead with what the reader most needs, usually the conclusion, decision or ask, then the
supporting detail. Match the technical depth to the audience and define terms they may
not know.

Use the structure that fits the document:
- **Status update**: summary, completed, in progress, blockers, next steps
- **Technical proposal**: problem, proposed solution, alternatives considered,
  trade-offs, implementation plan, how success will be measured
- **Incident report**: impact summary, timeline, root cause, resolution, lessons
  learned, action items
