So, what do you do?
Party SizedFold your job down to one sentence
Type how you describe your job at work, jargon and all. The page flags the words only your trade uses and lays out the folds, free. One run folds it down: plain swaps, a version for a curious stranger, a one-sentence party answer, a lift-sized line and one everyday picture.
1 Your job, as you say it at work free
Leave out your employer's name, colleagues' names and anything private - the folds only need the work itself.

3 Fold it down
One run gives every flagged word a plain swap, rewrites your knottiest sentence and makes the four folds. The page then checks each fold against its word cap and your flagged words.

How the page reads your words
The page flags three kinds of word, in the order they first appear: abbreviations (two or more capitals, like HRIS or P60 - everyday ones such as TV, UK or CEO are left alone), jargon from a fixed list of about a hundred office and trade words (pipelines, stakeholders, reconcile, roadmap...) and long words of fourteen letters or more. Each flagged word is one crease on the sheet: none or one is a flat sheet, two to five is a few creases, six or more is tightly creased. Up to ten go to the run. The knottiest sentence is the one with the most words; ties go to the earlier one.
The folds have word caps: 60 words for a curious stranger, one sentence of 20 for a party, 8 for a lift, 25 for the picture. After the run the page counts every fold itself, checks that no flagged word survived into the folds, and lists anything that slipped under "The page's check". It is a light helper for small talk, not career, legal or HR advice - check every fold before you use it, since it only knows what you typed.
