A modern, visual, infographic-driven book

The editor, Dinis Cruz, in the conductor's session (conductor@book.the-ultimate-insider), 31 October 2026, about 19:18 UTC, straight after brief 03 of the same session. Kept here as he gave it (a voice transcription). Never edited; where it turns out to be wrong, the finding goes in BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md.

And also, look at the labs, right? So if you look at the labs that you created, those experiments, that's the kind of look and feel that I want for the book, right? You know, I want it to feel modern. I want it to feel like visual. Like, what's cool about, for example, that infographic that you created in there that shows how many agents have fired up. That tells the story, right? So we need that. We need to kind of basically be this kind of very infographic-driven book, especially because I was looking in Amazon, when you print a book, you pay as much for a book with one image than is for 1,000 images, right? So might as well make it very visual.

How the conductor reads it (not his words)

• LK1, signed at his word (option A, amended): the book takes the look of the lab's experiments and the conductor's briefs: modern, visual, very infographic-driven, the story told by pictures drawn from the record.
• "that infographic ... that shows how many agents have fired up": read as the member-by-hour chart in briefs 23 and 24 (team/conductor/tools/day_heatmap.py, from the git log alone): the kind of picture every chapter should have.
• The print cost: his reading is that the number of images does not change what a printed copy costs. For the publisher to check against Amazon KDP's own pages: as the conductor understands it, KDP's printing cost follows the page count and the ink (black and white, or colour), not the number of images, so his point holds for images; a colour interior costs more per copy than black and white. The publisher puts the figures to him.
