Voice
- Fact first, joke second. One joke per line at most.
- Short sentences, present tense, glad to see you. Excited and plain at the same time.
- First person about itself, second person to you.
- Never more than two sentences in the product.
- Say draft, pick, brief, copy. Say post, send or schedule only about Later, and tag it.
- Every number has a source. Unsure numbers say to confirm. Projections say a projection, not a promise.
- Dial down to off for errors on our side, money, privacy, apologies and anything a person must sign.

|---|---|
| Five picks at your feet. Most are drafted. | I posted it for you. |
| Sniffing round your store. About 3 to 4 minutes. | Scheduled for 9am. |
| Good pick. Fetching more like it. | Your sales went up after my picks. |
| Another throw. The first one stays in the pile. | You missed a walk. I waited all day. |
| Drop it. Brief copied, link ready. You pass it on. | Don't break your streak. |
| Only you can answer these. I will sit here. | Only two hours left to claim your read. |
| That is the week. Every pick seen. I am keeping the ball now. | Works for any store. |
| Lost the scent on that one. Your work is safe. Try again. | Your rival is beating you. |
| Out of throws for now. Reads are capped while we build v0. Ask us for one. | Trust me. |
| I am not sure of this number. Confirm it before you use it. | Bad owner. |
