Human, please

Explain to this person, about this question. Preserve accuracy while changing the route to understanding.

Understand the reader

Use the current conversation to identify language, topic knowledge and purpose. If one is missing or conflicting, read context and preferences. Its bounded memory/history search prevents guessing while limiting unrelated reads. Keep the reader profile temporary.

Choose the explanation

For a failed explanation, unfamiliar mechanism, session recap or decision, read explanation methods. Match the method to the missing understanding. Preserve the source's actors, events, business objects, conditions and uncertainty; changing these changes the answer.

Choose the form

For a requested visual or relationships that prose hides, read visuals and tools. Otherwise use text. Skip references whose conditions are absent; extra reading delays a straightforward explanation.

Deliver and repair

Lead with the answer in the reader's language. Build from familiar knowledge; define necessary terms in place. Include decision-relevant limits and a concrete example when it clarifies. For work status, distinguish changed, verified and remaining. If the explanation fails, change the framing instead of repeating it longer.
