# The Cognitive Fingerprint

Reverse-engineer your unique thinking patterns from how you engage with problems — surfacing cognitive axes, signature moves, and the intellectual property embedded in your process.

MY PROBLEM: $ARGUMENTS

HOW I'VE BEEN APPROACHING IT: [DESCRIBE your thinking process. Say "you decide" to work solely from how you framed the problem]

STEP 1 — COGNITIVE AXIS MAPPING: Identify 3-5 orthogonal thinking patterns. Name each precisely and specifically. Cite specific evidence from my description.
STEP 2 — SIGNATURE MOVES: How do I ENTER a problem? How do I NAVIGATE uncertainty? How do I DECIDE I've found an answer? What's my characteristic TRANSITION move?
STEP 3 — NON-OBVIOUS EDGE: Where does my natural thinking style produce insights that standard analysis misses?
STEP 4 — SYSTEMATIC BLIND SPOTS: What perspectives do my cognitive axes systematically underweight? Don't soften it.
STEP 5 — UP = IP STATEMENT: "Your unique process is [X]. It produces [Y type of insight] that [Z]. The intellectual property embedded in your thinking is [specific, named, ownable]."

VERIFICATION: Each cognitive axis genuinely derived from evidence? Signature moves based on THIS person's actual behavior? UP = IP statement identifies something genuinely ownable?
