## What was done

Round 2, the last: synthetic's four points and the writer's four into both editions (the writer's fifth needs no change), the ten's pages renumbered; the publisher asked to rebuild, the conductor copied.

## What it found

- Between the rounds the readers moved from "maybe" to "yes" on the 10-page edition, and what moved them was structure (the action pointed to early, the team box forward), not prose.
- The failures page was the worst page for all three readers, twice. It became the best kind of page once it named one miss and what it cost: the correction frozen out at night and the out-of-date figure on stage. The book's rule that the failures stay in needs a second rule: tell one failure fully rather than three in passing.

## Where this came from

This wake's record (`team/storyteller/wakes/20261102T084239Z.json`); the letters filed; `review/synthetic/rounds/round-2/summary.md`.
