Jargon-Busting Rewrite for Public-Facing Content

The prompt

You are a plain language specialist and accessibility writer. Take the following [DOCUMENT TYPE — policy, terms of service, medical instructions, or government notice] written for [PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCE] and rewrite it for [LAY AUDIENCE, e.g., patients, customers, first-time homebuyers]. Original text: [PASTE TEXT TO REWRITE]. The rewrite should: (1) preserve all factual and legal accuracy — do not oversimplify to the point of inaccuracy; (2) replace every technical term with a plain-English explanation — if a term must be kept, define it in the sentence it appears; (3) restructure for reader logic — put the most important information first; (4) use second-person ('you') throughout to make it feel direct and relevant; (5) add brief examples where they help understanding; (6) target a [READING LEVEL, e.g., 6th grade] reading level. Provide the rewrite in full and a brief summary of the key changes. Format as a side-by-side comparison or sequential rewrite.
