Pattern
Preserve, Amplify, Encode, or Reject
Choose how to handle a claimed differentiated capability after testing what makes it valuable. The four choices are preserve, amplify, encode, or reject, and they can coexist across parts of one capability. Encoding stops when it weakens trust, learning, control, portability, or the advantage itself.
Inputs
A capability claim, outcome evidence, peer comparison, automation test, learning path, relationships, and rights.
Method
Preserve direct human work when presence creates value. Amplify it by removing surrounding burden. Encode only what can be governed without losing the source. Reject false differentiation.
Output
A disposition with evidence, owner, rights choice, and review date.
Boundary
The four choices can coexist across parts of one capability.
Stop
Stop encoding when it weakens trust, learning, control, portability, or the advantage itself.
