This is not "Axioms" in the logical sense. Axioms are the name of the standard attention-grabbing, scan-assisting [[Affordances]] used by Axios and Politico co-founders in their writing. Actually navigating to Axios.com reveals they are, in fact, used in practice.

They suggest coming up with your own. Probably a good call. I use [[TLDR]] already. Could come up with more perhaps. I like:
- **TLDR**: the message in a sentence or two
- **What's next**: expected follow-up
In [[Obsidian]] this could be implemented directly as is, or using [[Obsidian Callouts]]. I'm not sure which I'd prefer better.
