[⚠ purpose statement, not an answer] This memorandum describes how project teams
identify and deliver significant profit improvements. It is organized in six
sections:

    [●⚠ mixed kind: background] Background
    [●⚠ mixed kind: concept] Principles of the project-team approach
    [●⚠ mixed kind: concept] Definition of project work
    [●⚠ mixed kind: structure] Organization of the program
    [●⚠ mixed kind: results] Distinctive benefits and results
    [●⚠ mixed kind: requirement] Conditions required for success
[⊕ no key line / no visible reader question anywhere in the opening]
```

| Location | Violation | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Opening sentence | Top is a purpose/topic statement ("describes how..."), not an answer to a reader's question | Replace with the actual answer — what the reader gets or should do — stated as one sentence |
| Six-item list | Six first-level groups, not 3–4 | Collapse into 3–4 same-kind groups; six items exceed working-memory capacity |
| Six-item list | Not same-kind: mixes a topic (Background), concepts (Principles, Definition), a structural description (Organization), an outcome (Benefits), and a precondition (Conditions) — no single plural noun covers all six | Decide the kind the reader's question demands (likely "reasons this approach works" or "what the reader needs to know to act"), then recast every heading as that kind |
| List as a whole | No stated or inferable ordering principle across the six items — order looks like recall sequence, not time/structure/ranking/deduction/induction | Name an order type and re-sequence the (recast) groups accordingly |
| Whole opening | No SCQ: no Situation the reader already holds, no Complication forcing the question, no Question on the page — only a table of contents | Build Situation → Complication → Question → Answer before the heading list |
| "Background" heading | A heading label at the same rank as substantive claims — describes a document part, not a reader-facing claim | Either fold into the Situation/intro or drop as a heading; it is not a top-level answer element |

**Score:** Top 0 · Same-kind groups 0 · Order 0 · MECE 1 · Display 1 — **2/10, not structured yet**

**Three fixes that buy the most:**
1. Replace the purpose sentence with the actual answer to the reader's question.
2. Re-derive the kind the six headings should be (reasons / actions / parts) and recast all of them as that one kind.
3. Cut six headings to 3–4 same-kind groups in an explicit, named order.
