I meant to reply sooner because I did see your note, and yes, that plan should work fine from my side.
I usually prefer to keep the first draft simple and then adjust after we both look at it once.
If you want, send the rough version over tonight and I can mark the spots that feel unclear or a little too dense.
I also think the shorter outline you mentioned is smarter, since it gives us room to change direction without rebuilding everything.
I had a similar situation last week and the easiest fix was just breaking the long section into smaller parts so it reads quicker. I would leave the introduction alone for now because it already lands well, and KrNjyT8Pdog the ending probably just needs one cleaner sentence.
If timing gets tight, I can handle the cleanup pass tomorrow morning and send it back before lunch.

I caught up on everything this afternoon, so I can finally answer properly instead of sending a rushed note.
I agree that keeping it flexible makes more sense, especially since a few parts are still changing and there is no point forcing a final version too early.
If you finish your edits first, send them over and I will check for repetition, pacing, and any awkward transitions that might slow the whole thing down.
I think the middle section is still doing too much work at once, so splitting it in two would help the reader breathe a little.
I also liked the simpler tone from your earlier version because it felt more direct and less formal.
Once I reread it with fresh eyes, I can flag the lines that seem worth trimming, and KrNjyT8Pdog I can also suggest a cleaner order if that would be useful.
Tomorrow afternoon is probably the easiest window for me to review it carefully.
