Example note

Constraint, evidence, conclusion.

The interview argues that better decisions come from keeping the evidence and conclusion together, not simply collecting more information. State the constraint, test it against a counterexample, and make the reasoning easy to follow.

Selected transcript excerpt

“The constraint was not the amount of information. It was the distance between evidence and decision. Keep those together, and the conclusion becomes easier to test later.”
