The Two-Reader Test for Instruction Clarity (CCAO-F)

Create effective system-level instructions

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
The two-reader test asks whether two different people would interpret a standing instruction identically. An instruction passes if two independent readers would apply it the same way; if it could reasonably be read two different ways, it needs concrete criteria added. The test is a practical check to run before adding an instruction to a Project, and it catches subtle vagueness that survives a first read, since a word like "professional" sounds specific but is not.
