The next question is smaller and harder

This page is for a team after a showcase or a miss. Name the observation that would force a rewrite. That is the next question. Narrow field friction into an inquiry question.

What to keep from this cycle

Keep the live friction, the miss, and four-column friction log, researchable question, dated evidence, revised model. Do not enlarge the theme to look more scientific.

What not to inflate

A sequel that cannot be walked to is still a slogan. Write info@pqk.org with the doorway you can return to.

How to write
