A template should capture signal, risks, and decisions without slowing teams down.
Structure for clarity
Start with a clear thesis, then document risks and open questions. Keep sources attached to every claim.
Make it reviewable
Draft sections as patches so reviewers can accept or revert changes quickly.
Export when ready
Once the memo is approved, export a clean shareable version for IC distribution.
