Use a clear sequence for multi-step instructions

Communication checklist

1. Number the actions in order.
2. Name the starting position.
3. Show the result before the next action.

Fictional worked example

In a fictional rehearsal, the moderator notices that a key term was misunderstood. The team turns the problem into a concrete check: number the actions in order. Next, they name the starting position. If the answer still depends on missing information, they show the result before the next action.

Limits and next check

State any unverified fact and provide a follow-up route. Test this explanation with a listener who has not seen the preparation notes.
