All 8 takes ship SIGN-OFF · pending the lanes below
Every card on the Hot Take Board puts words next to a titled lane, so every card is born SIGN-OFF and stays off the public feed until its owner marks this sheet. CLAIM = run it as-is (card flips to SHIP-READY — one chip edit). EDIT = keep the take, change the words; write the edit on the line and the card gets re-cut before flipping. VETO = the take dies; the slot goes back to the jam. Suggested lanes are exactly that — takes can be traded between lanes before claiming.
