One chart entry is read by six people who arrive at different times with different questions — and by an attorney four years later. Build the entry line by line from the bank on the left, and watch the four beats (observed · concluded · did · what happened next) and all six readers react. Some lines look helpful and quietly damage the note.
Pick an event, then build the entry
Click a line to add it to the note. Click again to remove it. Lines that harm the record turn red and tell you why.
Candidate lines — charted this shift
The entry as it stands
This is what the next reader sees. Nothing else.
Six readers, one document
Each meter is that reader's needs met, minus damage done.
The test: could a competent stranger reconstruct your reasoning and your actions from this note alone? If yes, stop writing. Length is not virtue.
