You don’t need to do all this extra work up front though.

Start the discussion at the level you want, make it clear who it’s for, and others can read along if they want. They may learn something, they may ask a question or two (and it’s good to answer for knowledge sharing), but also they may decide they don’t need to understand and not bother asking, and you can encourage this subtly if you get too many questions.

It’s also great for reducing comms later as rather than explain a decision or design or something later to each person who asks you can just point them at the original discussion.
