@matt:

Turn information into value with four moves

Core framework:

“Use this as the one thing to remember: Belief -> Instability -> Stakes -> Claim.”

Walkthrough:

  • Belief: What do readers currently think, assume, use, or optimize?
  • Instability: What no longer fits, explains, works, or remains known?
  • Stakes: Why does this matter to them?
  • Claim: What does your work help them understand, decide, or do?

Bridge to the example:

“Now let me show a real example where the English is already good, but the value structure becomes much stronger after revision.”
