Submit a Jargon Term
Readers can suggest business jargon for review before it is added to the Jargon Soup.
Submission Route
Send suggested terms to jargon@decisionforge.co.uk.
This starts as an email route so submissions can be reviewed before publication. A form can be added later if the volume justifies it, but the editorial rule stays the same: reader suggestions are useful raw material, not automatically published content.
Please include the term, where you heard it and why it was confusing. If the example comes from a real business, remove names, customer details, contract values and anything commercially sensitive before sending it.
Review Policy
Submissions should be reviewed before publication.
A term should be accepted if it:
- helps real readers understand business decisions
- appears in the book, companion pages or common small-business advice
- can be explained plainly
- includes a useful warning or misuse pattern
A term should be rejected or rewritten if it:
- is mainly buzzword theatre
- requires legal, tax or financial advice beyond plain explanation
- cannot be explained without misleading readers
- is promotional, abusive or too niche to help the audience
Suggested Form Fields
- Term or phrase
- Where the reader heard it
- What they think it means
- Why it was confusing
- Optional example sentence
- Permission to include an anonymised version
Moderation Note
Reader submissions should never publish personal, commercial or confidential details. Keep examples generic unless explicit permission has been given.
Use the internal submission template in this folder for reviewed entries.
