⚠ Violations: mixed kinds, unexplainable order, false grouping
✂ Cut or move to appendix
● First-level group

⚠ This memorandum describes how project teams identify and deliver significant
profit improvements. ✂ It is organized in six sections:

⚠ ● Background
⚠ ● Principles of the project-team approach
⚠ ● Definition of project work
⚠ ● Organization of the program
⚠ ● Distinctive benefits and results
⚠ ● Conditions required for success

| Location | Violation | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Opening sentence | Top is topic label ("describes how"), not answer | State answer to reader question; remove meta-description |
| Section list | Six groups exceeds maximum of four | Consolidate into ≤4 same-kind groups |
| Section list | Mixed kinds (background, principles, definition, organization, benefits, conditions) | Reframe as uniform kind (e.g., reasons, actions, parts); move non-payoff items down |
| Section list | Unexplainable order (appears to be recall or arbitrary) | Assign explicit order type (time, structure, ranking, deduction, induction) |
| Opening sentence | Meta-text obscures structure | Delete "This memorandum describes"; open with key line or SCQ story |
| Entire text | Missing reader question | Derive question from complication; ensure structure answers it |

Three fixes:
1. Replace opening with answer-first statement addressing the reader's decision question.
2. Merge sections into ≤4 same-kind groups (e.g., reasons, actions, requirements) with explicit order.
3. Demote definitions, principles, and background to supports or appendix; keep first level for claims.
