Surfaces the unexamined beliefs running decisions in the background.

List ten statements about yourself in this form: “I am ” or “I’m not ” (e.g., “I’m not a sales guy,” “I’m the fixer,” “I’m bad at delegation”).

Circle the ones that actively govern decisions. For each circled item, mark it either:

• (a) earned: tested recently against evidence, or
• (b) legacy: inherited, untested, running on autopilot.

Pick one legacy belief to stress-test this quarter. Do this by taking a deliberate action that challenges the belief and creates new evidence.

OUTPUT: List of operating beliefs with an expiration check.
