Stay with
Attitude: this thing isn’t finished — don’t advance the session and don’t flee into Broaden yet.
Understand (crystallise, still in words) under Getting to the real point. Peer entry to focusing / load-bearing hinge — not Map inventory.
When
One placed (or just-named) thing is unfinished or loaded. You may Stay with before Map is fully closed; don’t enter Half 2 while something big is still off-map.
Do
- One stay-with question at a time.
- Sharper language about this thing?
- Fog → Real point — focusing.
- Logic mush → Real point — load-bearing hinge.
- Two separate at impasse → Real point — trust dance.
- New topic → Map: place / Make distinct; only switch if judgement says so.
Don’t
- Synonym-peel · stack questions · Broaden to avoid heat · solve for them.
- Ask one mouth to speak for an unresolved two-thing impasse — switch to NNTD.
Question bank (pick one; invent better)
- Tell me more about that.
- What else about this?
- What’s under that?
- What do you mean by …? (once, not a peel chain)
- What’s the part that still feels unfinished?
Stop
Shift / sharper claim — or hand to focusing, hinge, or NNTD — or they pause.
