- Window
- One week, over three sessions.
- Mission steps
- Draft an answer, a concrete case and the limits of the answer. Verify factual claims.
- Give it to a willing reader who knows less about the subject. Ask them to explain the idea back.
- Revise where their account reveals missing steps; keep their interpretation distinct from your intention.
- Finish
- Save a titled explanation that answers the starting question.
- Adapt
- Use a familiar low-risk topic. If no reader is available, list likely beginner questions and answer the missing one.
