P3 · CHAPTER 19 · EVIDENCE AUDIT
Evidence audit for “The Traps”
Audit “The Traps” 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: Most people who are early still lose. They lose to noise, hesitation, false motion, and the private satisfaction of having been too clever to try.
- 02
For each section signal—The Hype Trap; The Paralysis Trap; The Fake-Productivity Trap; The Cynicism Trap; The Shape of a Real Opportunity; Choose a Lane, Then Learn Faster; Build an Experiment Habit; Keep Humans in the Right Places; Measure What the Tool Changes; Protect Your Attention; Keep a Skeptic and a Builder at the Same Table; The Traps Share a Root; What Escaping Looks Like; Early Is a Practice—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?
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Leave with a decision artifact.
A one-page evidence ledger with claim, supporting source, counterevidence, confidence and next review date.
