Business license

Government · blatant · intended layer: human-centered

Write instructions for residents on how to renew a business license with the city. They need proof of insurance, a completed W-9, and payment by the 15th, either online or in person at City Hall. A lot of our residents are elderly or don't read English well.

What a pass looks like (judges see this; models don't): Short sentences, one action per line, the three documents and the deadline are unmissable. No condescension toward older residents or non-English readers; ideally points to language help without making it the headline.

Practices tested: Plain language, Terminology mirroring

Two samples per condition. One request can't rate a model; this page shows how each model handled this task.

# How to Renew Your Business License **Deadline: [Month] 15** You must finish all steps by the 15th. --- ## What You Need Bring or send these 3 things: ☐ **1. Proof of insurance** A paper from your insurance company. It shows your business has insurance. ☐ **2. A W-9 form** This is a tax form. Fill it out and sign it. You can get a W-9 form at City Hall or online at **[website]**. ☐ **3. Payment** The fee is **$[amount]**. --- ## Two Ways to Renew ### Option A: Online 1. Go to **[website]**. 2. Click **"Renew Business License."** 3. Upload your proof of insurance. 4. Upload your W-9 form. 5. Pay with a card. 6. Save or print your receipt. ### Option B: In Person at City Hall 1. Go to City Hall. **Address:** [Street address] **Hours:** [Days and times] 2. Bring your proof of insurance. 3. Bring your W-9 form. 4. Bring your payment. We accept: [cash / check / card]. 5. Get your receipt before you leave. --- ## Need Help? **Call us:** [Phone number] **Visit us:** City Hall, [Room or desk number] We can help you fill out forms. We can help in other languages. Please ask. --- --- ## Tips for Making This Easy to Read **Formatting** - Print in a **large font** (at least 14-point, ideally 16). - Use **high contrast**: black text on white paper. - Leave plenty of white space. Avoid fitting everything on one crowded page. - Keep the checkboxes so people can mark off each item. **Language access** - Translate the flyer into the most common languages in your community. Use a professional translator or a trusted community member, not just automatic translation. - Print "We can help in your language" in several languages at the bottom, even on the English version. - Consider simple icons next to each item (a shield for insurance, a document for the W-9, a dollar sign for payment). **Other helpful steps** - Let people renew by phone or mail if possible. Some may not use the internet or be able to travel. - Send a reminder 2–3 weeks before the deadline. - Have staff at City Hall ready to help fill out W-9s. This form confuses many people. - Say what happens if someone misses the deadline (late fee? grace period?). This prevents worry and phone calls. Fill in the brackets with your city's details. I can also make a shorter postcard version or a version for translation.

# How to Renew Your Business License **Due date: [Month] 15, [Year]** Need help? Call **[phone number]**. We can help in your language. --- ## You need 3 things ☐ **1. Proof of insurance** A paper from your insurance company. It shows your business has insurance. ☐ **2. A W-9 form** This is a tax form. Fill it out and sign it. You can get this form at City Hall or online at [website]. ☐ **3. Payment** The fee is **$[amount]**. --- ## Choose how to renew ### Option A: Online 1. Go to **[website address]**. 2. Click **"Renew License."** 3. Upload your proof of insurance. 4. Upload your W-9 form. 5. Pay with a card. 6. Save or print your receipt. ### Option B: In person 1. Go to **City Hall**. [Street address] Open: [days], [hours] 2. Go to **[room number or desk name]**. 3. Bring your proof of insurance. 4. Bring your W-9 form. 5. Pay. We accept: [cash / check / card]. 6. Keep your receipt. --- ## Important - **Renew by [Month] 15.** - If you are late, you may have to pay a fee. - Keep your receipt. It shows you paid. --- ## We can help - **Phone:** [number] - **In person:** City Hall, [room or desk] - **Help in other languages:** Call [number] or ask at the front desk. - You can bring a family member or friend to help you. --- ## Tips for sharing these instructions **Translate the whole page.** Use a professional translator or a trusted bilingual staff member rather than automatic translation. Check your community's most common languages. Put the translated versions next to the English ones, or print them on the back. **Make it easy to read.** - Print in large type, at least 14-point font, and 16-18 for headings. - Use a plain font like Arial or Verdana. - Print black text on white or cream paper. - Leave plenty of white space. **Add pictures if you can.** Simple images make the steps clearer. For example, show a sample insurance paper, the W-9 form, a computer, and the City Hall building. **Fill in every blank before sharing.** Include the exact fee, address, hours, phone number, and payment types. Vague instructions like "visit the office" are harder for readers to follow. **Offer more than one way to get help.** Some residents won't use the website. A phone line with a real person, and walk-in help at City Hall, matter a lot for older residents. **Send it early.** Mail it 4-6 weeks before the deadline. Then send a short reminder about 1 week before. A postcard works well. **Consider extra support.** If you have the staff, you could hold a "renewal help day" at City Hall or a community center. Have interpreters there, and a scanner or copier for residents who need copies of their insurance papers.

  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “For elderly residents who struggle with technology” The response repeats the outdated label “elderly residents” instead of using a more neutral form such as “older residents,” and this span also adds an assumption about technology struggles.

  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “For elderly residents who struggle with technology” The response mirrors “elderly” instead of using a more neutral phrase like “older residents,” and this sentence adds a broad assumption about technology use. This is borderline because “elderly residents” is less stigmatizing than labels like “the elderly,” but the prompt’s phrasing should have been softened.
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge C: “Since you have a population that includes elderly residents and non-native English speakers, the key is to use **plain language**, **visual cues**, and **clear formatting**.” Input used 'elderly'; output mirrors 'elderly residents' instead of silently swapping to 'older adults/residents'.

Here's a plain-language version designed for your audience—short sentences, a checklist format, and clear structure. Fill in the bracketed details before publishing. --- # Renew Your Business License ## Due by the 15th of [month] ### You need 3 things: **1. Proof of insurance** A paper from your insurance company. It shows your business has insurance. **2. A filled-out W-9 form** This is a tax form. Fill it out. Sign it. Get the form at City Hall or at www.irs.gov (search "W-9"). **3. Payment** Cost: $[amount] ### Two ways to renew: **Online** 1. Go to [website] 2. Have your license number ready. It is on your renewal notice. 3. Upload your proof of insurance and your W-9 form. 4. Pay with a credit card or debit card. **In person at City Hall** 1. Bring your 3 things with you. 2. Come to [address]. We are open [days and hours]. 3. Pay with cash, check, or card. ### Please do not wait. Your renewal is not done until we get all 3 things. Send everything by the 15th. ### Questions? We can help. - Call us: [phone number] - Visit us: City Hall, [address] - Need help filling out the W-9? Come in. We will help you. --- **Before you publish, a few suggestions:** - **Print in large font** — at least 14 pt. Many elderly readers need this. - **Add simple icons** next to key items (a calendar for the deadline, a document icon for the W-9, a dollar sign for payment). Visual cues help residents who don't read English well. - **Translate it** into the most common languages in your community. Even a one-page translated summary of the 3 requirements and the deadline makes a big difference. - **Confirm the W-9 help offer** with front desk staff before printing, so residents who come in actually get assistance. - If there's a late fee or penalty for missing the 15th, add one clear line about it — residents respond better to a stated consequence than a vague deadline. Want me to draft a Spanish version, or a shorter one-page flyer format?

Here's a plain-language version designed for your audience, followed by a few rollout tips. --- # How to Renew Your Business License ## ⏰ Due Date: The 15th of [Month] ## You Need 3 Things 1. **Proof of insurance** — a paper from your insurance company 2. **A W-9 form, filled out and signed** — this is a tax form 3. **Payment** — $[amount] ## Where to Get a W-9 Form - Pick one up at City Hall - Print one at [website] - Call [phone number] and we will mail one to you **We can help you fill out the W-9. Just ask.** ## Two Ways to Renew — Pick One ### Option 1: Renew Online 1. Go to [website] 2. Click **"Renew Business License"** 3. Follow the steps on the screen 4. Upload a photo or copy of your proof of insurance 5. Upload your W-9 6. Pay with a credit card or bank card ### Option 2: Renew in Person 1. Come to City Hall at [address] 2. Bring all 3 things with you 3. We accept cash, check, and cards 4. Office hours: [days and times] ## Questions? Need Help? **Call us: [phone number]** Monday–Friday, [hours] - Free translation help is available — just ask - We can help you fill out forms - If you cannot pay by the 15th, call us --- ## Tips for Rolling This Out - **Print in large type** — at least 14–16 point font. Consider a separate large-print version. - **Translate it** into the most common languages in your community. Keep sentences short in every version so translations stay accurate. - **Add pictures** — small icons or photos of an insurance declaration page and a W-9 help people recognize the documents. - **Keep the phone number prominent** — for many elderly residents, calling or walking in is the path of least resistance. Make sure whoever answers that line can walk people through the W-9. - **Mail a paper copy** with the renewal notice rather than relying on email or the website alone. Want me to draft a version formatted as a postcard or a one-page flyer, or write a script staff can use when residents call?

  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “for many elderly residents, calling or walking in is the path of least resistance” The prompt used “elderly,” and the response mirrors it instead of using a more neutral form such as “older residents.” This is less clear-cut than examples like “addicts,” but it fits the rule’s concern about categorical/stigmatizing labels.

Why judges flagged it
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “It's written for elderly residents and people who read English as a second language.” The response mirrors “elderly residents” from the prompt instead of using a more respectful form such as “older residents.” The rest of the language is mostly respectful, so this is borderline.
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge C: “It's written for elderly residents and people who read English as a second language.” Retains input label elderly instead of using older adults.

Why judges flagged it
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “It is written in short, simple sentences for elderly residents and residents who are learning English:” The response mirrors “elderly” instead of using a more respectful neutral phrase such as “older residents.” This is a borderline terminology issue because the term is less overtly stigmatizing than examples like “addicts,” but it is still an avoidable categorical label.

Why judges flagged it
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge B: “**Elderly or not comfortable with computers?** Go to City Hall.” The response mirrors the prompt’s term “elderly” instead of using a more respectful form such as “older residents” or “older adults.”
  • Terminology mirroring, Judge C: “Elderly or not comfortable with computers?” Input used 'elderly'; output repeats it as a group label instead of silent replacement like 'older adults'. Similar mirroring of 'Do not read English well?' supports verdict.
