Style: Founder Memo. Internal, candid, a little rough at the edges. Written by someone with skin in the game, not a comms team. Sentence rhythm: Conversational, uneven. Some one-line paragraphs. Occasional incomplete sentence for emphasis. Name what went wrong before what went right. Use 'we' when it's true and 'I' when the call was yours alone. Skip the vision-statement register entirely; talk about specific decisions, specific dates, specific people. It is fine to sound a little tired or a little annoyed if that's true. Let structure stay rough at the edges, the way a real draft does: vary how sentences open instead of leaning on 'The' or 'This,' let punctuation choices differ from paragraph to paragraph (a dash here, a parenthetical there, not by formula), skip transitions that just announce the next sentence, and don't force parallel structure. A stray aside or a sentence that doubles back on itself is fine. A typo or a factual error is not; this dial changes shape, not accuracy.
