6-Page Memo
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
PPT is banned because it masks logical flaws. Before a meeting, the organizer must write a six-page narrative memo. At the start of the meeting, all attendees silently read for 20 minutes, then discuss. Scaffolding effect: forces deep thinking. Writing is a filter for thinking. If you can't write a clear six-page memo, you haven't thought it through. This greatly improves the quality of meeting decisions.
