# Figure It Out

1. Define the completion predicate and non-goals.
2. Inventory uncertainty. Split it into factual questions, empirical forks, product preferences, and irreversible decisions.
3. Resolve facts by investigation and empirical forks by prototype instead of asking the human when tools can decide.
4. Build a dependency graph of verifiable work units with a proof attached to every node.
5. Identify which units can safely fan out and which share mutable state.
6. Write the bespoke playbook, then execute it using existing skills rather than improvising around its gates.
7. Maintain a decision trail for work that can outlive the current session.
