Glossary & Tooltip Kit
One-line definitions you can reuse as in-product tooltips.
Use these short definitions anywhere (docs, UI tooltips, empty states). They're written for non-technical SMB users.
Tip: Keep tooltips under ~120 characters and lead with the benefit.

- Place these one-liners in hover tooltips, empty states, or sidebars.
- Keep prompts consistent: "What is this?" - show the matching line above.
- If space is tight, drop to 80-100 characters but keep the verb ("Send", "Run", "Save").
