What did you actually do?
What did it actually do to you?
Capture what happened while the work is still clear.
Preserve the exact record when it says what you need it to say.
Freeze the record. Not the person.
Write what the experience actually did to you.
See what recurs, where it transfers and what changed over time.

Each point is a recorded example. Larger points mean the work context contained more recorded complexity - not greater ability. One work example can demonstrate more than one capability. Dashed points to the right of NOW are 12-month expectations, not evidence.
Point size - recorded context complexity
Complexity describes the recorded work setting, not the person's ability.
Reflection can preserve a hard-won change in judgement or show a capability carrying into a different setting.
