preintroduction

Preintroduction, also known as preintroductory or preintroductory material, refers to the initial sections of a document, presentation, or educational material that provide background information, context, or orientation before the main content begins. Its purpose is to prepare the reader or audience for the subsequent material by setting expectations, providing necessary context, and engaging their interest. Preintroduction can take various forms, including abstracts, introductions, prefaces, forewords, and executive summaries. It is commonly used in academic papers, technical reports, business documents, and educational materials to ensure that the main content is understood and appreciated in its proper context. Effective preintroduction helps to establish credibility, clarify the purpose and scope of the work, and facilitate a smoother transition into the main body of the document.
