Diagnose the rupture and the other side's experience
Works through a concrete relationship breakdown to reconstruct what happened, the principal's likely experience, and what is genuinely the advisor's to own.
In / outDescription of relationship breakdown → reconstruction of what happened + principal's likely experience + honest ownership delineation
You might say…
“Something went wrong and I'm too close to it — I need an honest account before I can repair anything.”
What it does
Works through a concrete relationship breakdown — a bad-landing recommendation, a misread, a scope dispute, a trust-damaging moment — to reconstruct what happened, the principal's likely experience of it, and what is genuinely the advisor's to own versus shared or external. Used at the start of repair to replace a defensive or one-sided read with an honest, resolvable account.
Trigger: Use at the start of repair work after a bad-landing recommendation, scope dispute, or trust-damaging incident.
