Memo Skim Pattern
The disciplined 10-minute reading order for a long-form investment memo: thesis paragraph first (does the author commit to a falsifiable view?), risk section second (did they grapple seriously with what would make them wrong?), valuation summary third (does the price reflect the numbers?), business-overview headings fourth (do they understand the unit economics?). The skim is the genre's native reading order regardless of the memo's physical pagination, and it produces a defensible first opinion fast enough to triage which memos repay deeper reading.
