Amazon 6-Pager
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Prohibits the use of PPT, requiring presenters to write a 6-page structured narrative memo. At the beginning of the meeting, all participants read silently for 15-30 minutes, then discuss.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Forces deep thinking. PPT can easily mask logical flaws (with beautiful charts). Forcing oneself to write a long text makes logical gaps impossible to hide and ensures all participants are on the same information baseline.
Anchor fast decisions
A coherent narrative memo forces the author to build a rigorous causal chain (PPT bullet points easily mask logical flaws), and pre-meeting silent reading ensures everyone is on the same information baseline, improving discussion and decision quality.
