The Thing to Hold Onto

You’re right. I should have checked before assuming, and that changes the scope of this task in a meaningful way. One honest caveat — I’m going to gently push back here, because this is the load-bearing assumption. In fact, there’s one important thing I have to tell you and I have to tell you because it’s important. What’s worth pressure-testing is that it’s not X, it’s Y. Genuinely worth flagging as it’s a meaningful correction worth being precise about.

Let’s pause right here — I need to stay with both of these, because they’re not separate things. And honestly? That’s the thing to hold onto from this conversation.
