Public-Friendly Technical Report Writing

I’m preparing a full technical report that must read smoothly for a general-public audience. The content will be grounded in solid research and data, yet explained with clear language, logical structure, and everyday examples so non-specialists stay engaged from start to finish.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A concise outline that frames the topic, core questions, and recommended flow.
• The complete report (approx. 4,000–6,000 words) written in plain English, free of jargon, with any essential terminology briefly defined.
• Simple, well-labeled visuals or tables where they improve comprehension.
• A one-page executive summary distilling key findings.

Please tell me about similar technical reports you’ve produced for lay readers, the main tools you prefer (e.g., Word, LaTeX, Google Docs), and your typical turnaround for the first draft. I’ll share the exact subject matter and reference material once we start so you can dive straight into the research and writing phase.
