Choose the job in front of you.
4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Assumption Refresh Loop
Use this workflow when an inherited process, consensus view, strategy, metric, role script, or old decision may have outlived its conditions and the operator needs an independent evidence-based belief, explicit update thresholds, a smaller replacement behavior, and a short action packet before reality forces a crisis reversal.
Output Return a pre-consensus view, script diagnosis, causal model, belief register, update gear, replacement behavior, update packet, decision owner, public-change threshold, and next check.
Field Signal Review
Use this workflow when behavior contradicts stated priorities or local wins create global damage and the operator must map incentives, costs, benefits, formal and informal power, legitimacy, vetoes, delays, and current game rules before proposing an ethical local game change.
Output Return a behavior statement, incentive map, cost/benefit map, power and legitimacy map, current game, failure signal, proposed local rule/metric/owner/consequence change, affected interests, ethical check, experiment, owner, and review date.
Live Option Generator
Use this workflow when an important choice is narrowing toward a forced default and the operator must preserve or create credible alternatives through small moves, explicit kill criteria, dependency reduction, learning, and ethical consequence checks without using optionality to avoid commitment.
Output Return an option inventory, collapse timeline, paths A/B/C, kill criteria, preservation moves, taste and ethical findings, dependencies, small action, commitment trigger, owner, and review date.
Reality Contact Audit
Use this workflow when a person, team, or initiative may be executing a polished but stale story and needs direct comparison among stated narrative, measured signals, actual behavior, external response, raw customer or frontline evidence, and consequences before choosing one weakest reality loop to repair.
Output Return a reality table, contradictions, raw-signal assessment, filter map, sensor health, weakest link, reality memo, repaired loop, decision impact, owner, and next check.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
