How many techwriters does it take to change a lightbulb?

5+
One to create a style guide.
One to analyze the task and document the procedure.
One to create detailed diagrams of the procedure (since no one hires
graphic artists anymore).
One to revise the procedure after it is done.
One to distribute copies of the procedure to everyone else!

Plus - a certified electrician to change the bulb and approve the
procedure.
