How to use it

1
Start with the map

The one-page Talent Decision System Map orients you before you touch anything else — see how all sixteen pieces connect.

2
Run the Luck Audit

Score your ten most recent talent decisions across eight stations. This is your baseline — everything else responds to what it finds.

3
Pick one gap, run 30 days

Use the 30-Day Intentional Hiring Plan Tracker to replace one point of chance with designed practice — then repeat the discipline.
