Before publishing the infographic, remove jargon and surface decisions residents care about: replace zoning codes with short labels (e.g., 'mixed‑use, up to 4 stories'), annotate the map with icons for parks and schools, include a short explainer box describing what the change means for parking and housing, and produce a mobile‑optimized PNG with accessible color contrast and an alt text suggestion for the web team.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Express — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
