Eight situations. Read in the order the structure asks for.
Each reading path is a curated sequence of four to seven pieces from the library. The order is not for show. The bridges are written. By the end of the sequence the structural mistake is named, the cost of waiting is visible, and the next move is the right size.
How to use these.
Pick the path that matches your situation. Read the first piece. Then the second. Bridges between pieces tell you what the previous one set up that the next one extends.
Each path takes 25 to 50 minutes. Skip is fine. Out-of-order is not. The sequence is the point.
Refreshed quarterly. Pieces shift in and out. The path stays anchored to the situation.
Curated sequences, by situation.

The same pieces also live in their category hubs. Use these when you know the format you want, not the situation.
