Style guides --- Most organisations have a style guide or comms guide advising what type of words/phrases/language use, what to avoid, the layout of the document etc. I find it useful to review previous documents/briefings/reports to see how language has been used. Often even if reports are written by different individual staff members, they need to be seen as coming from the organisation rather than the individual and therefore be relatively uniform in style
