When to use this spread
For a dilemma where you feel information is missing — what you already know, what lies outside your view, and what to do next.
Why this spread
Some dilemmas cannot be settled because information is missing, not because a decision is. This spread does not compare options. It separates what is already known from what sits outside your field of view, and only then suggests a step. Made for the moment when "something does not add up" and you cannot say what.
What sets it apart
Unlike Option A · Option B, this spread is for when the possible paths are not yet clearly defined.
Example questions
