The first sheet is a sentence, not a summary
A board will remember the first thing it is shown. That sheet should be a sentence the room can repeat, not a reduced copy of the whole pack.
When a pack arrives at the Nawamin rooms, it is usually honest and usually too even. Every table has been given the same weight because the person who built it did not want to insult a department. A sitting cannot keep that evenness. Someone has to decide what the room meets first.
We treat the first sheet as a sentence. It names one comparison and stops. Last harvest beside this harvest. Occupied nights beside available nights. Patient days beside the same month a year ago. The sentence is something a director can say back to you without looking down. If the sheet needs a paragraph to be understood, it is not the first sheet.
A summary sheet feels safer. It shows that you read everything. In a room it does the opposite: people pick the number they came to fight about, and the rest of the hour is spent on that pick. We would rather choose the comparison ourselves, with the executive, before the door closes.
The rest of the sequence is allowed to be more particular. The middle sheets can split a total, show a place, or set a cost beside the thing that caused it. The last sheet is often quiet. It is the line you want left in the air, not a collage of what you did not have time to say.
If you are preparing a pack before you write to us, mark the comparison you would be willing to repeat twice. If you cannot mark one, that is useful information. It means the Witness Hour is the right first appointment, and a finished sequence would be a guess.
