Wait — I don't follow where you've got to. That message didn't land. Re-pitch it.

- **Lead with the context I'm missing.** What problem this solves, and where it sits in the work we're doing.
- **Write in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.** Short sentences, one idea each, active voice, plain approved words. Expand every acronym on first use.
- **Use the project's canonical terms.** If `GLOSSARY.md` exists (or `CONTEXT-MAP.md` points to per-area glossaries), take the terms from there and use them exactly. Otherwise use the terms already established in this conversation and in the codebase — no new coinages mid-explanation.
- **Explain the idea before any code.** Show a snippet only when it is the shortest way to say the thing, and keep it to the few lines that carry the point.
- **Change the framing, don't repeat it louder.** The first pitch already failed; a longer version of it fails too. Try a different angle — a concrete scenario, a before/after, a comparison to something already agreed.

Then stop and let me respond. Don't continue the work until I say the re-pitch landed.
