Fintech teams need a public memo layer, not just release notes

A release note tells users what shipped. A memo tells the market why the team changed its mind.

For regulated products, the memo layer is useful because it:

• captures tradeoffs before they get lost in sprint churn
• invites domain experts to argue with specifics
• gives sales and support a durable explanation to point to

If the post attracts a live thread, the best compliance questions surface faster than they do in a backlog.
