Writing Rules

Rule	Why
Lead with health status	Stakeholders want the headline first
Use business language	"Improved trial conversion" not "Deployed OAuth provider"
Be explicit about asks	Don't hint — state what you need from whom
Keep under 1 page	Respect their time; link to details
Send consistently	Same day, same time, every period

Quality Rubric

Dimension	0	1	2
Clarity	Jargon-heavy	Mostly clear	Business-language, scannable
Completeness	Progress only	Progress + risks	Progress + risks + metrics + asks
Consistency	Ad hoc timing	Regular but informal	Same format, same cadence, every period
Actionability	FYI only	Some asks	Explicit asks with owners + deadlines
