Technical writing vs business writing

To develop an audience profile, you need specific information about your audience, information about its understanding of and attitude toward your subject. Your teacher may guide you in learning what questions to ask to get the necessary information to profile your audience, or you may develop this list yourself. The following list, although not exhaustive, can help you do that. Be aware that your teacher or your particular writing assignment may require more information about your audience.
Who is my primary audience?
What purpose will this writing serve for my readers? How will they use it?
Is my audience multicultural?
What is my audience’s attitude toward and probable reaction to this writing?
Will readers expect certain patterns of thought in my writing? Will they need statistical data to be convinced?

IMO, the text you posted for discussion is actually of a business nature, while you (and me at first) tried to understand it from a technical viewpoint.

IMO they all serve one purpose: to successfully deliver intended information to intended audience.
You may be required to write long essays or short answers in response to examination questions. You may be asked to keep a journal, write a lab report, and document the process you use to perform research. You may be called upon to create a design document, write a business report or plan, and report on the results of research.
