THE ARGUMENT · COMMUNICATION UNDER DECISION PRESSURE
Listen first.
Then make the answer easy to trust.
This page is about writing, listening and mutual understanding. The buyer asks for evidence that supports a decision. The bidder must hear the real question, respond within the rules and remove the effort created by vague claims, buried proof and unspoken assumptions.

Five minutes is enough to understand the method.
Write
Respond to the buyer’s outcome in no more than 300 words.
Test
Change disclosed reading conditions and inspect visible features.
Revise
