This is great, I can see it being really helpful for me to consciously think about which of these I’m optimizing for (or am willing to sacrifice) when writing. I got confused by the introduction of the term ‘density’ in the section on trade-offs, as this isn’t represented in the RAIN framework. Is density just a sub-consideration of accessibility or are you considering it in its own right?
Density applies only to some situations; it just depends on how you look at things. It felt quite different from the other attributes.
For instance, you could rate a document “per information content” according to the RAIN framework, in which you would essentially decouple it from density. Or you could rate it per “entire document”, in which case the density would matter.

Thanks, and good to hear!
