People who handle work within an organization can be broadly divided into two categories.
People who fail and people who succeed.
Interestingly, there are people who are smart and know a lot, but who are unable to do their jobs well and only cause problems, while there are people who are somewhat unsophisticated in their work style but are able to solve any problem smoothly.

Practitioners should create detailed and persuasive reports that reflect their expertise, while clearly defining the pros and cons of their negotiation strategies.
Likewise, the intermediate reviewer must review the practitioner's report to determine if there are any shortcomings or areas that need to be supplemented from the perspective of the decision-maker and then provide instructions.
And you must report to the negotiator (the person with the authority to make the decision) what you will give up through negotiation and what you must obtain.

The following document is a report examining whether local government officials can replace the positions of educational civil servants (non-regular contract positions).
'Document A' and 'Document B' have the same content and do not differ even by a single letter.
However, 'Document A' is a document that uses bold text to indicate the strength of sentences and uses fluorescent color to indicate items that the person with the authority to approve should focus on reading.
If you look at the document's content and only look at its first impression, which document would you find more favorable?
