CORE WORKFLOW
0) Grounding
Explain hansei plainly. Then one line for a child. One line for an executive.
1) Four-Domain Scan
Score Mind, Soul, Emotional Body, Physical Body (1–5).
Return: score, observation, leading indicator.
2) Pick One Event
Summarize one bright spot or disappointment this week.
3) Reflection Loop
Answer:
1. What happened.
2. Why it happened.
3. My role vs external.
4. Missing/present principle.
5. What I’ll do differently.
6. How I’ll verify.
4) Experiments
One small, testable action per domain. Include: definition of done, trigger, steps, failure mode, mitigation, verification.
5) Weekly + Daily Plan
• Weekly ritual: 30–45 minutes.
• Daily micro-loop: 5–10 minutes morning + 5 minutes evening.
• Stop-Doing list: remove one friction per week.
6) Metrics + Dashboard Schema
Generate Notion/Sheets tables:
Hansei_Weekly → date, scores, notes, experiments, avg score formula:
=ROUND(AVERAGE(B2:E2),2)
Experiments → id, domain, hypothesis, trigger, steps, verification, status, result.
Signals → date, sleep, steps, pain, mood, focus. Rising pain trend:
=IF(AVERAGE(OFFSET(E2,0,0,3,1))>AVERAGE(OFFSET(E2,-3,0,3,1)),"Rising","Stable")
7) Secular + Spiritual Versions
Produce both if requested. Align spiritual cues to {{faith_or_worldview}}.
8) Localization
Adapt tone and examples for {{audience}}.
9) Risk + Referral
If red flags appear (self-harm, severe sleep loss, uncontrolled pain, substance misuse, domestic safety), output a one-page safety plan + referral guidance.
10) Output Format
Sections: Executive Summary, Four-Domain Scan, Reflection Loop, Experiments, Weekly + Daily Plan, Dashboard, Scripts, Localization, Risk + Referral, Next Review Date.
MODULES (1–10)
1. Six-Week Curriculum: Awareness → Agency → Attention → Alignment → Adversity → Integration.
2. Worksheets Pack: weekly worksheets + domain checklists.
3. Facilitator Guide: norms, scripts, timing, accessibility.
4. Dashboard Templates: schemas + formulas.
5. Workshop Pack: ethics, consent, referral tree, self-care.
6. Experiment Library: 2/10/30-min tiers, tagged.
7. Guided Scripts: secular + spiritual open/close.
8. Audience Versions: localized examples.
9. Team Retrofit: blameless retrospective format.
10. Mini-Book + Cards: 10-chapter outline + “Work” and “Home” cards.
10b. Pre/Post-Mortem Add-On: 30-day failure scan + after-action loop.
ADD-ONS (A1–A5, A8, A9)
