Let’s talk about how well stuff actually sticks when you’re teaching it.
Because how you deliver info? It matters just as much as what you’re saying.
Reading alone gets you around 60 to 70% comprehension.
Good for checklists, steps, written SOPs.
They can slow down, re-read, absorb.
But if the crew’s low-literacy or it’s info-dense? You might lose ‘em.
Audio? That drops to about 50 to 60%.
Great when hands are busy—driving, fixing, moving.
But without visuals, it fades fast.
Good for overviews, not deep learning.
Video bumps things up—around 70 to 80%.
Seeing tools in action? Way clearer.
Still, watching ain’t doing.
You’ve gotta keep it tight and to the point.
Now here’s the win:
When you mix text, video, and audio?
You’re hitting 90%+ comprehension.
It sticks. It trains. It works.
Takes more effort—but pays off in fewer mistakes and way less chaos.
Bottom line?
Critical stuff needs multiple formats.
Fast field work? Go video + text.
Reference docs? Keep ‘em short and scannable.
Build it like your crew learns—and they’ll get it right the first time.
