What's the difference between a prescriptive document and a descriptive document??? (Document analysis)
 
1. Descriptive grammar: the systematic study and description of a language. Descriptive grammar refers to the structure of a language as it is actually used by speakers and writers.

2. Prescriptive grammar: a set of rules and examples dealing with the syntax and word structures of a language, usually intended as an aid to the learning of that language. Prescriptive grammar refers to the structure of a language as certain people think it should be used.
 
Descriptive describes what the outcome was, but a prescriptive document tells about the expected outcome.
