The daily brief
Her template, with one change: the proof check is enforced, not printed. A brief that fails it cannot be exported.

Why that one change matters. The template ends with seven tick-boxes and a signature block.
Tick-boxes are a promise the reader cannot verify. Here the same seven items are computed from what is actually in the form —
and the export button stays disabled until every one of them passes. Nothing you type leaves this tab.
The export is a JSON file written in your browser. It carries the proof-check result alongside the brief, so a recipient can see the check ran rather than take it on trust.
The seven items, as she wrote them
- Every consequential factual claim has a linked source.
- Allegations, observations, inferences, and verified facts are clearly distinguished.
- Contradictory evidence and uncertainty are disclosed where material.
- Recommended actions identify an owner and a deadline.
- Watchlist entries state what would confirm or disprove the assessment.
- Sensitive personal information and vulnerable-source details have been removed or access-restricted.
- The brief has an update time and version identifier.
