P2 · CHAPTER 15 · EVIDENCE AUDIT
Evidence audit for “Taste Becomes the Moat”
Audit “Taste Becomes the Moat” by separating its opening thesis from the evidence needed to support it. The goal is not agreement; it is a traceable judgment that can change.
WORKBOOK SEQUENCE
- 01
Rewrite this thesis as a claim that could be wrong: When the machine can produce anything, the rarest input is knowing what is worth producing.
- 02
For each section signal—The Old Moats Leak; Abundance Does Not Eliminate Judgment; What Taste Really Is; The Filter Is the Product; Lessons From the Dynamo; Deliberate Taste; The Point of View Compounds; Infinite Content and the Starving Mind; The New Editor; How Mediocrity Scales; Taste Has a Supply Chain; The Discipline of Refusal; Learning to See the Almost Right; Originality After the Flood; The Taste Loop; Markets Reward Coherence; Humility and Standards; What to Practice Now; The Human Advantage—name the strongest primary source and the strongest counterexample you would seek.
- 03
Record source date, scope, incentives and whether the evidence describes a demo, repeated deployment or measured outcome.
- 04
Write an update rule: what new observation would materially weaken or strengthen the thesis?
