Read any Comms/Drafts/Email to *.md against this checklist: 1. Scan for "the point of" / "the rationale" / "honoured the lesson" / "deliberately light" — these are telltale signs of inter monologue. 2. Scan for "worth a test" / "worth a re-test" / "see if" — these are future-test caveates. 3. Scan for "hypothesis" / "working theory" / "underlying issue" — these are interpretation. 4. Each "Next week" priority should be a clean noun phrase, not a sentence with a clause.

2. Future-test caveates — "The breathing-every-five pattern is a higher-level bilateral cue, worth a focused test under fatigue on Friday." → cut. Parent doesn't need to know we plan to test something; the test either happens or doesn't, the prose tells them the outcome.

1. Rationale chains — "The point of the structure is to bridge the vertical fly kick work into regular swimming, so the carryover happens inside a standard rep rather than a separate drill block." → cut. Parent reads "what was done," not "why it was designed that way."
