## Overview

Every consequential decision is made inside an environment the organization does not control. This program teaches a repeatable discipline for reading that environment, judging what it means, and giving a decision-maker something to act on. Nineteen skills in five modules follow five pillars: Frame, Scan, Connect, Judge, and Deliver. You bring a live decision from your own organization, and by the end you hold a completed estimate on it, not notes about a method. It is not a forecasting course and it does not teach research collection.

## Competency pillars

- Frame
- Scan
- Connect
- Judge
- Deliver

## Audience editions

The objectives, standards, and skill models are identical in every edition; the scenarios, examples, and vocabulary are written for that audience.

## Modules and Terminal Learning Objectives

### Module 1. Framing the Question

Action: Frame an assigned analytic task as a bounded decision, scope it, and produce a rated assumption ledger. Condition: Given facilitated instruction, the Participant Guide, the case study packet, and a self-selected live analytic task from the participant's own work. Standard: The participant produces a completed Four Corners worksheet whose decision statement contains a verb and at least two named options, a named decider, a deadline with a stated anchoring event, and at least two deal-breakers; a Scope Box with all four edges and at least one reasoned exclusion; and an Assumption Ledger of at least eight entries in which every load-bearing row carries a confidence basis, a test with a named owner, and a trigger.

### Module 2. Scanning the Environment

Action: Conduct a complete eight-domain BEARINGS Scan, grade all sources, card all findings, and produce a ranked Blank Map. Condition: Given facilitated instruction, the Participant Guide, scan sheets, a supplied mixed source set, and the participant's own framed task from Lesson 1. Standard: The participant produces scan entries for all eight domains including explicit unknowns, a coverage judgment for every domain, at least ten Finding Cards in which no observation field contains inference and every card carries a paired source grade and both dates, and a Blank Map in which every gap is phrased as an answerable question and the top three carry named owners and dates.

### Module 3. Connecting the Domains

Action: Build a cited Link Grid from a card set, run three-order consequence chains, score available leverage points, and classify changes as drift or jolt. Condition: Given facilitated instruction, the Participant Guide, the participant's own card set from Lesson 2, and the case study card set. Standard: The participant produces a Link Grid in which every populated cell cites a card ID and carries direction and strength, with row and column totals computed and at least one coupled pair named; a three-order Then-What Chain whose change statement carries direction and magnitude and whose second order names actors and responses; a Leverage Read selecting exactly two points with reach cited to the grid; and a Drift and Jolt classification in which drift entries carry rate and threshold and jolt entries carry trigger and precursors.

### Module 4. Judging the Picture

Action: Test evidence against competing explanations, run a structured bias sweep, assign calibrated confidence, and convert findings into so-what lines. Condition: Given facilitated instruction, the Participant Guide, the participant's own card set and link grid, and the case study evidence set. Standard: The participant produces a Rival Reads matrix with at least three non-straw-man explanations, non-diagnostic evidence struck, and a named discriminator routed to the Blank Map; a completed six-trap sweep in which every hit carries a recorded correction; confidence bands with stated bases in which findings and projections are banded separately; and so-what lines following the fixed pattern with at least one finding explicitly dropped.

### Module 5. Delivering the Decision

Action: Produce a one-page estimate, build a watchboard, deliver a ninety-second verbal read, and set a refresh rhythm. Condition: Given facilitated instruction, the Participant Guide, all prior module outputs for the participant's live task, and a timed delivery partner. Standard: The participant produces a one-page estimate whose recommendation appears in the first three sentences, whose so-whats each carry a band, and whose gaps block names owners and dates; a Watchboard of six to ten observable indicators each with threshold, named owner, and pre-agreed action; a verbal read delivered in ninety seconds or less containing all five blocks in order; and a Re-Scan Rhythm assigning an interval to all eight domains.
