I suggest this common heading structure:

# [Title]

## Purpose

## The Proposition

## Why It Matters

## What It Means

## What It Could Look Like

## Questions

## Invitations

## Possible Actions

## Evidence

## Related Conversations

## Replies

Why these headings?

  • Purpose — establishes what the file is doing.
  • The Proposition — the core idea someone can agree/disagree with.
  • Why It Matters — gives the rationale.
  • What It Means — removes ambiguity.
  • What It Could Look Like — moves from abstraction toward examples.
  • Questions — explicitly creates things people can reply to.
  • Invitations — asks people to contribute thinking.
  • Possible Actions — converts thinking into AoP activity.
  • Evidence — separates aspiration from what we actually know.
  • Related Conversations — links to AI chats, presentations, etc.
  • Replies — provides a natural place for responses to accumulate.

I particularly like The Proposition because it changes the character of the document. It says:

Here is something we are putting into the world for you to respond to.

rather than:

Here is an essay we expect you to read.
