pyramid-principle

Reports and memos bury the answer under background, so readers must reconstruct the argument and decisions stall. This plugin applies Barbara Minto's Pyramid Principle (answer first, MECE-grouped support) and keeps a separate source-integrity layer that requires a specific source, locator, and confidence for every fact. Your reader gets the decision in the first sentence and can trust every number under it.

Use when the user wants a new document built or an existing one reorganized. Not for critiquing a draft without rewriting it; use `pyramid-audit` instead. Not for single-page notes under 500 words; use `pyramid-short-form` instead.
