P3 · CHAPTER 23 · EVIDENCE AUDIT

Evidence audit for “You Are Early

Audit “You Are Early” 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

  1. 01

    Rewrite this thesis as a claim that could be wrong: Close the book, look at the calendar, and understand what it is actually telling you. You have not missed it.

  2. 02

    For each section signal—The Evidence Still Points Forward; Fame Is Not Maturity; The Comfort of Being Too Late; The Work Has Not Been Redesigned; The Asymmetric Bet; What Early Actually Requires; The Calendar Is Giving You Information; A Challenge, Not a Prediction; Tomorrow Morning; You Have Not Missed It—name the strongest primary source and the strongest counterexample you would seek.

  3. 03

    Record source date, scope, incentives and whether the evidence describes a demo, repeated deployment or measured outcome.

  4. 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.
