Translate a Technical Skill Into Language for a Non-Technical Audience

You need someone with no background in your field to understand what you do, well enough to make a decision. This builds the explanation: an everyday analogy, what the skill makes possible, a real example, the thing newcomers always get wrong, and the one point they must remember.
