A small practice for the endless introduction

Original practice · Optional exercise · Things we can finish

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An introduction keeps expanding because its purpose is unclear.
2. Define the question it must help the reader enter.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
