CLIN-10 · Caution sheet that would ship

Take a model whose limits are already understood — your own CLIN-04 audit, a classmate's, or a published model card — and produce the one page a preceptor would actually post. Then test it on real readers and revise until it survives them. The deliverable is not the analysis; it is the communication artifact.

One completed audit or a published model card as the input. Three to five readers from the intended audience — clinical instructor, nursing student, front-desk staff, or a peer outside the class — who each read the sheet cold and report back what they understood. Disclosure shape borrowed from Model Cards for Model Reporting (https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.03993).

Compressing the audit rather than rewriting it for a reader. Hedging every sentence until the sheet says nothing. Bullet fog — twenty bullets with no priority. Skipping the reader test, which is the entire brief. Revising for a reader's aesthetic preference instead of a comprehension failure.

A shipped one-pager plus its evidence: the sheet itself (intended use, must-not-use list, the two least-supported populations, the failure that would hurt someone, and where to ask questions); reader-test notes recording what each reader thought it meant; and a revision log tying each change to a specific misreading — including any change the student declined to make because it would have softened a true limit.

CT: deciding what to cut without making the sheet false. CR: designing the layout and the reader test. CO: readers are collaborators, and their misreadings are data. CM: the whole brief. CZ: what a misread sheet causes on a floor.

A clinical instructor or preceptor reads the sheet cold, as a user, and says whether they would post it. Standing instruction: reject sheets whose must-not-use list is vaguer than the use list. School-supervised.

R1: one model, one audience, one page. R2: reader-test notes and revision log both present. R3: comparator is the first draft, kept for the diff. R4: limits stated plainly rather than hedged into mush. R5: this is R5's home brief. R6: names the softening changes refused and why.

(a) A beautiful sheet nobody outside the author ever read. (b) Every limit hedged into "may vary," so the sheet is technically true and operationally useless.

Lane A immediately (health-science capstone, HOSA health-education events, or a technical-writing cross-listing). Excellent second brief for a student who finished CLIN-04. No verified credit claim.
