Use AI to review your document for assumptions your reader might not share or understand.
You've written a proposal, report, or recommendation. It makes perfect sense to you. But you've been living inside this topic for weeks—your reader hasn't. You might be assuming they know background details, understand internal acronyms, or share your context. Those hidden assumptions make your document confusing or incomplete to fresh eyes. Before you send it, ask AI to identify what you're assuming your reader already knows. It'll spot the gaps: undefined terms, missing explanations, logical jumps, or references that need more context. This is especially useful before sending something to a new stakeholder, a different department, or someone outside your immediate team. Once AI flags the assumptions, you can decide what to clarify, define, or cut. You'll catch the "wait, what does that mean?" moments before your reader does—and your document will land with clarity instead of confusion.
