yanqingcheng Coaching working map
Track the things — each with its own logic — and how they relate. Write it; surface it. Not one blob.
Supports Half 1 Map (inventory) and Understand (shape written on the same page). Also the page you spell back at Half 2 open.
When
Every coaching session.
What to track
Per thing: name (their words) · local logic · open unknowns / load-bearing hinges.
Relations: same? different? nested? in tension? causes?
When they add something
Ask or confirm via Make distinct / Broaden: new thing, or where does it sit? Don’t silently merge or fork.
Do
Keep it written and sketchable. Surface with Say it back when useful. On drift: rewrite from theirs. On resume: restate things + relations.
Map done (inventory): nothing else big missing. That is not the Half 2 lean oracle — leaning Half 2 needs a clear important problem (ask / felt referent / multi-part) per Coaching session.
Understand still writes shape/hinges/impasse notes onto this map.
Don’t
Invent links · collapse distinct things · novel-length maps.
Stop
Map current enough for the next move — or they corrected it.
