Flow Diagrams

Seven maps. Each one answers a question. Each answer feeds the next question. By the end, the archetype calendar is named as an instrument in the system language.

What does success look like?

Four outcomes. Each proves a different layer of the thesis.

Outcomes defined. Where does time actually die today?

Where does time die?

The current flow. Every box is a decision that costs minutes. The gap between DREAM and REALITY is where value leaks.

Value stream mapped. How do archetypes become the unit of planning?

How do archetypes become calendar blocks?

The archetype stays pure. The skill blends. The calendar tracks. The gap teaches.

The archetype names the mode. But how does it flow through a week?

What does the weekly loop look like?

Plan Sunday. Live Monday-Friday. Score Friday. The review feeds the next plan.

The loop runs weekly. But where does data flow between human and agent?

How do five agents eliminate morning decisions?

Five agents. One job: the human shows up and executes.

Agents coordinate. But what does the user actually see?

How does the user move from pain to performance?

Two sites, one bridge. The planning docs teach. The product measures.

PAIN-TO-PERFORM JOURNEY
──────────────────────

Pain        │ "Where did the week go?"
            │ Planning docs teach why cadences matter
            ▼
Awareness   │ Reads planning docs, sees cadence table
            │ Docs link to /calendar/week (not prototype)
            ▼
First Value │ Signs in, imports template
            │ First IDEAL week in <5 min (not blank grid)
            ▼
Habit       │ Returns Sunday evening
            │ Dashboard surfaces "Plan next week" as primary CTA
            ▼
Mastery     │ Uses review + yield weekly
            │ CLI access: plan-cli time-mind today/score
            ▼
Effortless  │ Sunday Agent pre-fills from template + patterns
            │ Adjust 2-3 blocks, not build from zero

Navigation connects the screens. But what's the build sequence?

What gets built in what order?

S0 proves the solo loop. S1 adds feedback. S2 adds depth. Connection is parked.

Questions

Does each diagram answer the question that feeds the next one — or does it answer a question nobody asked?

  • If the archetype architecture is sound, why is every feature still Gap?
  • Which agent in the team diagram is most likely to be wrong about its trigger?
  • Does the two-site bridge create more navigation or less?
