What we are quietly compiling

A research desk for the seventy-two hours between the offer and the answer.

The verdict, in one paragraph.

A decision-grade read on your offer — written for the page, not the conversation. The kind of paragraph senior people read once and act on.

ii.

The room your offer has left.

Where to push, what to ask for, and the lines worth defending. The leverage you have not found yet, returned to you with the receipts.

iii.

The words to use on Thursday.
