... Built Minutory around one observation: attention is highest in the first two minutes of any high-stakes moment interview answer, pitch, project update and almost nobody actually practices that part.

... question I really want answered. This week we post one real example a day with the sentence that produced it, and "an example, not a customer" written on it. People answer an example.

What pulled us there was a problem we kept hearing described in almost exactly the same words by interior designers at every stage of their career. 'We lose pitches not because our design is worse. We lose because we cannot show it the way the big firms can.' The big firms have render pipelines. They have dedicated visualization teams.
