My customer (a big international company) doesn't tell me anything about the intended audience of the hardware and software user documentation I am writing. All I get is a specification and a few other supplementary documents (data sheets and the like). It's not always easy to figure out just how technically savvy the users are or may be. Any ideas how to deal with it?

If you can't get any sense of the audience, just try to be as thorough as possible in the time allowed. Chances are, you'll satisfy most of your audience even without knowing anything about them.
