The Chair
Primary public sample. Pressure first, explanation later.
Read / sample
Start with pressure. Leave with questions.
Controlled preview
The recommended public sample is Chapter 1, The Chair, because it introduces pressure, restraint, and the evidence-first shape of WESTFALL without explaining the whole machine. A later Terminal 7 preview can be added when you want the cleanest proof-engine hook public.
Public sample slot reserved. No fake excerpt, no unsourced prose, no late-book spoilers.
