Traditional judge, I prefer no spreading, Ks, plans, etc. I won't drop you for running these, but I very much dislike them.
- I like to see claim-warrant-impact. I flow what you say, not what I think you mean.
- If I can't understand you, I can't flow you. I'll yell clear, but I won't flow your entire case off the email chain if you are mumbling through it at lightning speed.
- Clarify the voting issues and prove how and why you outweigh. Hit framework/V/VCs early and often.
- I prefer conversational speed and good delivery. Quality, not quantity, for arguments.
- Cards should be clearly cited and available for review should there be a conflict over source validity or context. Clipping will not be tolerated.
- Signpost - reference the contention # or subpoint in speeches and CX.
- I dislike off-time roadmaps.
- CX is for questions, not rebuttals.
