Tone & Style Notes
- Written for Operations, Finance, Treasury, and C-Suite decision-makers — not technical or legal audiences

- Urgency-forward: the deadline is imminent
- Should feel like a resource, not a sales brochure — but close with a clear CTA to contact BluePoint
Source Material
Mike Stebbins noted that an existing checklist document was circulating but was "way too much" — the white paper should be a condensed, focused version. AAG should review that checklist for factual accuracy on law details and penalties, then distill it into the 2–3 page format.
"The purpose of the white paper is to let them know, hey, this is the law. Here's some of the highlights of the law. Here's penalties for the law. And then here's how to be compliant with reverse ATMs."
— Mike Stebbins
