Write like a partner, not a vendor.

If a sentence reads like a brochure, rewrite it. If it reads like a board paper that respects the reader's time, ship it.

Three rules

07.A
  1. Rule 01

    Plain English first.

    If a CFO has to look it up, change it.

  2. Rule 02

    Evidence, then opinion.

    What we observed → what it means → what we'd do.

  3. Rule 03

    No fear-selling.

    Risk is real. Theatre isn't useful.
