I'm curious to how much time is allocated for writing these six pagers? Both total leadtime and actual writing time. Anyone with experience have any insight?

Bezos discusses how long they take to write in the 2018 Amazon Shareholder Letter [1]:

"... they mistakenly believe a high-standards, six-page memo can be written in one or two days or even a few hours, when really it might take a week or more!"

This point in particular ... a properly written '6 page' anything can take a week of planning, writing and editing to produce!

I think we need more details!
