Spread facts

Preparation

The layout belongs to the “Relationships” category. Use it to divide a question into meaningful parts, compare relationships between factors, and avoid reducing the result to one absolute prediction. Before starting, write one specific question, define the context or time frame, and note the facts already known.

Consider this situation: someone needs to decide whether to begin a direct conversation about a relationship. Facts known before the spread: contact has become less frequent, no direct conversation has happened, and the other person’s intentions are not known. Writing them down first prevents symbols from replacing reality.
