Quick tip on writing docs and content:
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 8 = readable by a 13-year-old. That's your target for most technical documentation.
Not because your readers are 13 — but because shorter sentences and common words reduce cognitive load. Even senior engineers read faster at grade 8.
Most enterprise docs sit at grade 14-16. That's why people skim them.
