When to use “assisted” (and when not to)

Avoid "assisted" when you can claim a concrete contribution instead. Use "facilitated" or "enabled" when your help produced a result, "collaborated" or "partnered" when the work was shared as an equal, and reserve "supported" for genuinely ongoing background roles. Always attach what changed because of your help.
