Protip: select the items in the canvas you want in your SS and 'copy to clipboard as PNG' instead of a screen shot and you can get transparent PNGs of diagrams or of detailed subsets of a larger diagram easily.
Excalidraw has a 1 click 'sloppiness' change. We do drafts and ideation in 'full sloppy' mode, to indicate to the reader that this is not fully thought through, or a final documented decision. Once we've gotten through discussions and analysis, the final diagram is changed to be 'not sloppy', and the font changed from handwriting to a san serif font.
It's pretty effective to immediately communicate to folks that 'this is a concept' approach. Too many people instantly jump to conclusions about diagrams - if it's written down it must be done / fixed / formal.

A super convenient way to do cool stuff like that in the DoD is to do it for the most senior Flag you can get interested in it directly. Projects at SECDEF or SECNAV offices work...differently than outside, as there isn't really an 'up' left for most of the folks involved (in my experience - most are extremely focused on getting the job done and/or the geo-strategic problems).
