With reference to: "2. Use glossary definitions to simplify and
shorten all Success Criteria for shared or ambiguous terms":
Comment: is the word "shared" needed?
A term may appear in multiple places but if its meaning is not
ambiguous then it does not need a definition.
A term even if used only once  may need a definition  if:
- it is used in a manner  that is not in line with what is generally
understood to mean or convey.
- or to limit its meaning to a  specific interpretation  among
multiple possible interpretations

This is what "ambiguous"  generally conveys but it might be helpful to
expand along the lines suggested.

Thanks,
