Tools / a useful first step

What rests on
this being true?

Make a load-bearing hypothesis open to examination. Leave with a brief you can use in your next discussion or bring into a DataRoom.

Build your hypothesis brief

Start with the hypothesis and what depends on it. Gaps can remain open.

A consequential claim that could be wrong.

Name the decision, investment or next step this claim supports.

Record what you observed and where the evidence comes from.

Keep an inference distinguishable from an observation.

A contradiction or an unknown is useful context.

Choose an evidence-producing question or test.

Continue into a DataRoom

One brief is a beginning.
Keep what you learn connected.

Install MindrianOS, create a DataRoom, and bring the downloaded brief as context. Keep the source evidence alongside it and review the next test yourself.
