Method
How we write.
Hypothesis first
Every note opens with a claim we can be wrong about. If the claim is safe, the note does not ship.
Evidence in the note
Sources, samples and math live inside the note, not in an appendix. If you cannot re-run it, we have not written it.
Verdict you can apply
Each note closes with a verdict standard — a rule you can apply to your own decision on Monday morning, not a call to think differently.
