Intensive text care

My emergency measures include

   Correcting obvious errors: spelling, syntax, punctuation, inconsistencies, breaches of style
   Eliminating unnecessary technical language, jargon and legalese
   Inserting summaries and (sub-)headings to make reading easier
   Restructuring
   Concentrating lengthy texts

These actions rarely give any long-term results for the organisation, but they are sometimes necessary for specific texts, especially in urgent situations.
