Cheat Sheet Template
To ensure quick and efficient understanding and usage of a product, many products come with a reference guide or cheat sheet. Similarly, when introducing an unfamiliar concept to new audiences, a cheat sheet can effectively communicate the key principles and main features. The idea is to treat the concept as a new product and create a concise and clear reference guide that explains its intended purpose and basic specifications in a simple and straightforward manner.
