Canon Flow

Witness > Interrogate > Solve > Expand > Refine

Not strictly linear. Iterate between canons as needed. The Playbook captures where you are and why.

Iteration Triggers

Return to an earlier canon when:

• New information invalidates previous assumptions (back to Interrogate)
• Expansion reveals context mismatch (back to Witness for new context)
