You send the work on Friday and the reply on Monday is one line, a question, and it is about the thing you never put in. Every check you ran before sending was a check on the work itself, asked from inside the thing you made. The question that comes back is about what the person reading it is going to be held responsible for, which is a different question with a different answer. 17 prompts for the last pass before work leaves your desk: a question set built from what that person is accountable for rather than from what your work happens to be about, a three way sort that separates the gap you close with one sentence from the gap that needs an errand from the one nobody has ever settled, the accountability line that makes the whole thing work, and the strike rules for cutting the questions that do not sound like anyone you know. Nothing here predicts what another person thinks. You are the one who knows them.
