Field Notes to Forward Motion

Fifteen cases. Each one is a real decision, badly described, with the wrong fix already on the table.

Every case gives you a situation, some papers, and a deadline. It does not give you a method, a template, or a hint about what the answer looks like. Working out what the problem actually is โ€” that part is the assignment.

Use AI as much as you want. Every number and every claim you hand over is yours to defend.

The cases

What you hand back

One artefact the person who asked can actually use. A two-to-four minute recording of you saying it out loud, not reading it out. And your working, as messy as it actually was.

How it gets judged

  1. Did you work on the right problem?
  2. Can you defend every number you put on the page?
  3. Could the person act on it on Monday morning?
  4. Do you know what you don't know โ€” and does your answer survive being wrong about it?

There is no expected answer to any of these cases. Two people can reach opposite recommendations and both be right, and the difference will be entirely in the reasoning.

Every case is fictional. Names, companies, societies and numbers are invented.
Do not contact any real business or person, and do not use anyone's actual bills, marks, or personal data.
