The technique is definition card: a term gets a plain definition the viewer can save. How it works: a card with a question as its title, a one-sentence answer, and the address of the learn page in small type. It is right for: product explainers and teaching series. Point the card to a written version on the site, so one explanation serves the feed and search. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing."
