Lay down dated evidence first. Meaning comes second, and only once there's enough
strata to read. Memory rewrites itself to fit whatever story you currently believe — artifacts don't.

Dated evidence only: a photo, a message, a purchase, something you built, read, rode,
signed, or ended. State what it was, not what it meant. Resist the word "because".
Candidate seam — and the test that could break it
Name the turning point you suspect, then write the observation that would prove you
wrong. Count the strata that support it against the ones that contradict it. A hypothesis that
nothing could contradict isn't a finding.

The interpretation layer is closed.
Build the timeline before you build the meaning. Once twelve dated artifacts are down,
pass 2 opens and you can start annotating what each stratum might mean.
