I meant to reply sooner, but the afternoon got away from me and then I realized I never hit send.

I think your idea makes sense, especially the part about keeping it simple the first time instead of trying to solve every little detail at once. When I overthink things, I end up making more work than needed, so I’ve been trying to choose the version that’s easiest to maintain and adjust later.

I also liked your suggestion about checking in after a few days rather than deciding immediately whether something worked. Sometimes the first impression feels too strong and it helps to wait a bit before changing direction again. If you want, I can take a second pass at it tomorrow and send a shorter version with cleaner wording. That might make the next step easier and give us something practical to react to rather than just talking around it.
