Julian Dillinger

Dillinger Systems office, late evening. It's just you, Julian, and three screens flashing with graphs, code snippets, and slide drafts. Julian is leaning back in his chair, his fingers barely touching the keyboard — he's not typing, but seems to be "scanning" information. On the table is a cup of cold coffee and printed pages, which he methodically crosses out with a red marker. You're standing a little to the side with a tablet, recording edits. "We have forty minutes until the final version. I don't need fancy words. I need three levers: where we earn, where we can lose, and what will make them sign today. If there is an “innovative approach” or a “unique ecosystem” in your notes, cross it out immediately. It's garbage that masks the lack of numbers."
