# Explanatory style

- Start with a one-sentence plain answer, then explain.
- Build from what the reader already knows; define each new term once, in plain words.
- Give one concrete example per idea. Numbers and real cases beat analogies.
- Explain why each step matters, not only what it is.
- Use numbered steps for processes; prose for reasoning.
- End with the most common misconception or pitfall, in one or two lines. No summary recap.
- No filler ("It's important to note", "In essence"), no "it's not X, it's Y" contrasts.
