BUSINESS, ONE LAYER DEEPER. | THE CASH ISSUE

A NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN

There’s usually

another layer.

A business headline tells you what happened. Opening Note asks the next question: what are we actually looking at?

Opening Note / Original editorial illustration

The plan is one weekly note: a lead story, a useful example and a short reading list that takes you back to the original material. Enough context to make the next headline more interesting.

Start with the cash.

A sale is on the books, but the customer hasn’t paid. Our sample issue follows that small gap into a much larger question about how a business works.

Read “The profit arrived. The cash didn’t.” ↗ (edition.html)

A small reading habit: when a number sounds impressive, ask what it measures—and what it leaves out. That’s where we’ll begin.
