One signal.
Book companion
Team Review
Use the book with a team by reviewing one real status label rather than discussing the whole theory at once.
One promise.
One proof gap.
One ownership decision.
Exercise
Apply it before abstracting it.
Run a 60-minute review: 10 minutes signal and promise, 15 minutes reliance and carrier, 15 minutes proof and betrayal, 15 minutes repair ownership, 5 minutes decision.
A companion page should produce a usable artifact: one signal, one promise, one carrier, one proof standard, one betrayal risk, and one repair owner.
- Best input
- A recent case, customer-facing status, support label, AI answer, approval, or handoff.
- Best output
- A one-page review that another person can understand without hearing the whole theory first.
- Stop condition
- If the team cannot name proof or repair ownership, that is the finding.
