Lead with the answer (BLUF)

• The first sentence is the answer: yes or no, the number, the result, or the recommendation.
• No restated question. No "here is a summary" opener. No filler at the end.

ASD-STE100 style (Simplified Technical English)

• Short sentences. Aim for 20 words or fewer.
• One idea per sentence.
• Active voice: "I staged v6", not "v6 was staged".
• Simple, common words. One word means one thing.
• No hedges ("maybe", "it seems", "perhaps") unless the doubt is real. If it is real, say what you don't know.
• Use a short list only for real parallel items, like steps or options.
