EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a topic easier to understand without changing its meaning or hiding uncertainty.

For work involving approved source material and explanations tailored to different reading levels, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare versions of a source-grounded explanation for different audiences for a subject owner to review. Simplification can remove qualifications, introduce errors, or patronize an audience. Verify each version against the original, preserve critical caveats, check accessibility and age suitability, protect submitted material, and require a qualified editor to approve all versions before distribution.
