Framework 386 · in one look
How to use it

Swap the joy of being right for the joy of finding out what's true. Before a big decision, ask the smartest person you know who disagrees, and argue the opposite of your view yourself. Your ego and your blind spots hide what other people can see.

How sure we are

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

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