4Level 4 of 5

Help me repeat it

They come back and it remembers.

Saved projects, workflows, progress tracking, feedback, and reusable outputs.

The method becomes something they use over and over: past work saved, progress visible, outputs reusable, and feedback on what they did last time.

This is the first rung that needs accounts and stored data, which is why it's worth being sure levels two and three already earned their keep.

What the person actually does

  • Come back to work in progress
  • Start the next one from the last one
  • See what they've done and what's still open

You're on the right rung when

  • People use the method repeatedly, not once
  • Their own history makes the next run better
  • You're asked 'can I see what I did last time?'

What it takes to make

Accounts, stored data, and a real commitment to keeping it running.

Worked example

I don't have one of my own on this rung yet. When I do, it'll show up in the kitchen with what it got wrong.

Where it runs out

It serves one person at a time. When other people — your team, your licensees, your clients' clients — need to deliver the method too, that's level five.

If your expertise is trapped in a worksheet, spreadsheet, PDF or meeting, send me the method. I'll look at what a simple digital product could make easier to use.
