Framework 320 · in one look
How to use it

Take one moment and ask why three times. Why 1 is the obvious reason (safe: anyone could post it). Why 2 is the feeling underneath (real). Why 3 is the part you don't usually say out loud (raw). Post from the third answer. That's where people feel seen.

How sure we are

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
