|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. | Plans often contain assumptions that were never openly stated and remain dangerous precisely because of that. Assumption Surfacing makes these silent premises visible and prioritizes which of them carry the initiative or could sink it. |
