I gave the Amazon 6-pager format a spin. Right now the 3 main takeaways are:
1) The 6 page limit is a great forcing function; it makes every sentence count.
2) You need to add a disclaimer to the top to say that only the first 6 pages are mandatory.
3) Appendixes are awesome.

What format/medium was your 6-pager replacing? I get the sense you do a lot of writing regardless 😁

It would have replaced a normal, freeform memo. I think this format was good because it really forced me to think.
