Keep open questions on the map
A missing answer is not a vibe. Put the question on the graph, then decide if you need a person, a number, or a search.

A missing answer is not a vibe. If you cannot decide because something is unknown, that unknown belongs on the map as a node.
Why it matters
Diagnose will invent calm if you hide the gaps. Research tasks work better when they target a named question instead of "look into the market".
- Write the question in plain language.
- Link it to the option or risk it blocks.
- Mark whether you need a person, a document, or a search.
- When answered, keep the answer as evidence and retire the question.
Templates like career already seed a few questions. Delete the ones that do not apply; do not leave decorative unknowns.
