I write two forms of documentation:

One is an in-depth description of function, form and reason to understand and advance on the principles, stepping through processes and offering the opportunity to build on it if they choose

The other is designed for a hungover tech with a screaming customer on the line who just wants to know what to do to make it all go away.
