One version, one clear purpose
The best preparation reduces avoidable ambiguity. Identify the authoritative file, explain who the reader is, and provide any rules that the editor needs to follow.
This checklist is a preparation aid, not a quality score. Some items may not apply to your project. Your selections stay only in this browser session unless you download them.
After the handover
Keep a copy of the file you sent. If you make further changes, identify them clearly rather than silently replacing the version being edited. Agree on how to handle additions that arrive after work begins.
