Jun 11, 2020 at 20:24	comment	added	Weather Vane		@NuclearWang thank you, I was including 'succinct' in my first draft until a) it appeared in a comment and b) seeing that it does have a kind of value judgement in the hononymic associations with 'success' and even 'sugary/saccharine', although the first might not be a bad inference at all.

I'd say conciseness would generally be considered a professional quality, as it means you provide neither too much nor too little information, and do so in an efficient manner. Another synonym for this would be succinct.

Jun 11, 2020 at 17:47	comment	added	Weather Vane		I can't immediately think of one, but added value in concise is that it is factual, not a value judgement, and so IMO is an appropriate word to self-describe. I did not explore the first part of your question far, because as stated, they are not terms which I would use to self-describe.
Jun 11, 2020 at 17:45	comment	added	theforestecologist		Thanks. I think concise on its own isn't quite precise enough, but perhaps the combination, "concise and professional" is adequately descriptive in the way I'm looking for. Would there be a single word that describes this?
