Read any document the way a detective reads a witness statement — surface what it is NOT saying. Unlike a summarizer (which tells you what a text says), this skill exposes the subtext: hedging and weasel words, conspicuous omissions, buried leads, frequency tells, tone shifts, and non-answers. Use it on earnings calls, shareholder letters, job postings, press releases, politician statements, news articles, performance reviews, legal language, and the email that's clearly avoiding something. Trigger on phrases like "what are they really saying?", "read between the lines", "decode this earnings call", "is this a red flag?", "what's this not telling me?", "what are they hiding?", or any request to analyze the subtext, spin, or evasion in a document rather than just summarize it.
