The antidote to fluffy content: Tactical, Actionable, Concrete, Specific (TACS)
- Tactical: "This isn't a generic idea I've heard a million times before"
- Actionable: "I can put it into practice and apply it to my own work"
- Concrete: "This can be observed and measured--not just theory"
- Specific: "This is precise advice for a particular situation"

To recap:
- What does my audience want to learn to do?

- Could this be turned into a visual?
- Could this be turned into an interactive experience?
- Where might my audience be confused and how can I proactively address that?
- What screenshots, scripts, or examples can I share?
