Debrief

Ask what is directly observed, what remains interpreted or unknown, and whether one optional question, support, referral, experiment, or no next step would be useful.

Flags

Not therapy, diagnosis, medical, business, financial, tax, accounting, investment, legal, employment, or relationship advice. Adapt or stop for distress or risk; use qualified or emergency support when appropriate.
