Translate a Technical Specification Into a Non-Technical Summary
Technical specifications are written for engineers. When they get shared with business stakeholders without translation, they either get ignored or generate questions that take longer to answer than writing the summary would have. This takes the spec and produces a plain-English overview that covers what is being built, what it means for the business, and what decisions are needed.
