Translate Corporate Jargon Into Plain Language for Your Team
Leadership sent round an announcement, and nobody on your team can tell what they are meant to do with it. Paste the email or strategy doc in and this strips the buzzwords to find the real message, then rewrites it plainly, without making the original author look daft. For managers who keep having to translate head office into English.

4. Rewrite the key paragraph in plain language, keeping all the substance
5. Note anything in the original that is vague enough to cause confusion and flag it for clarification
