The Purposing session

One guided pass through the Purposing stage — the disciplined first stage that earns the right to build scenarios. Diagnose surfaces what the plan treats as certain; Define turns that into the one-sentence Purpose; the Gate decides GO / conditions / stop. Each step feeds the next. It tests the plan's robustness — it never predicts.

Diagnose

P1 · surface the assumptions
