Use AI to review your document for missing context that makes sense to you but confuses everyone else.

You've been deep in a project for weeks, so everything feels obvious to you. But when you share your document, people come back with basic questions you thought you'd already answered. The problem isn't that you left things out — it's that you forgot what it's like not to know what you know. AI can read your document as a 'fresh eyes' reviewer and flag where you've skipped explanations, used undefined terms, or assumed knowledge your reader doesn't have. **Step 1:** Paste your full document or section into ChatGPT. **Step 2:** Ask AI to identify any terms, acronyms, concepts, or references that aren't explained and would confuse someone reading this for the first time. **Step 3:** Review the list AI gives you. For each item, decide: does my audience actually know this, or did I assume they would? **Step 4:** Ask AI to suggest a one-sentence explanation for each term or concept that needs clarifying. **Step 5:** Add those explanations into your document where the term first appears — usually just a quick phrase in parentheses or a short intro sentence. **Step 6:** Reread the document quickly. It should now make sense to someone who wasn't in all your meetings or hasn't lived inside this project for months.
