## Annotated text

▲ 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

## Findings

| Location | Violation | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Opening line | Topic label, not an answer; no question stated anywhere in the visible opening | Replace with a one-sentence answer to the reader's question about project teams and profit improvement |
| Six section headings | Mixed kinds — form (Background) + principles + definition + organization/structure + outcomes + conditions | Decompose into 3–4 same-kind groups; identify the kind the reader's question demands |
| Order of sections | Unexplainable — not time, structure, ranking, deduction, or induction | Name and apply an order type; reorder sections accordingly |
| Purpose statement + TOC structure | No SCQ opening; the reader's question never appears on the page | Prepend a Situation → Complication → Question → Answer opening in story form |

## Top three fixes

1. Delete "describes" language; state what conclusion the memo reaches—what the reader should do or believe about project teams and profit improvement.
2. Group the six sections into 3–4 same-kind elements (principles / steps / benefits / risks, or another decomposition that fits the answer), and name your order type.
3. Add an SCQ opening: Situation the reader already holds, Complication that forces the choice, the Question this memo closes, the Answer—before any heading appears.
