bullet-pointed

Dots before entries

Bullet-pointed describes text organized with bullet points—those small markers (•, ◦, ▪) that set off items in a list.

A bullet-pointed memo or bullet-pointed summary presents information in discrete, scannable chunks rather than flowing prose: She sent a bullet-pointed list of priorities.

The format implies efficiency, sometimes at the cost of nuance.
