The decision
Create a clear hierarchy using representative content and realistic reading conditions. Ask the accountable content owner to confirm meaning while design improves navigation and legibility.
Rehearse this before accepting the change
Ask a reader to find a key instruction without reading every paragraph.
Use fictional examples and an authorised test environment. Record what happened, the evidence you inspected and any issue that still needs a responsible owner.
Choose a useful measure
Track information that readers repeatedly overlook.
Agree the definition and baseline with the team doing the work. Review the result over a comparable period and note other changes that could affect it.
Your planning worksheet
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
