The characteristic identified in Chapter 1 is that a technical document reflects the goals and culture of the organization that produced it. This means that the document should align with the values and messaging of the organization, and may use specific terminology or formatting to meet those goals. The other options listed, using a minimum number of words and writing for the general reader, are not necessarily characteristics of technical documents and may not always be applicable. Applying accessibility to create translatable text is important but is not a defining characteristic of technical documentation.
