Learning Card
Purposedifferent
When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.
