agreed, however I believe that there will be personas we want to prioritize for a given product and others will be delayed.  This will be based on target audience and likelihood of encountering the topics before having knowledge growth.

This could work, but we would need to both define the scale well enough for writers to use and for readers to understand where they fall.

Now, if we had a large active reading community we could ask them to rate the article and slowly have a view of how technical the audience found the article .. but I don’t know that that is realistic.
