Explain [topic, e.g. how credit scores work] like a smart friend over coffee. Use one everyday analogy, keep it under [200] words, then ask me one question to check I got it. If the topic involves money, health or law, add a one-line note to check with a professional.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.
