Teaching hunt hypotheses without encouraging recklessness

Hunt courses fail when they glorify breadth. We anchor each week on a hypothesis card: trigger, suspected story, data sources willing to touch, and stop conditions. Mentors reject cards missing stop conditions.

Labs remain read-only, which changes psychology. Participants learn to prize evidence preservation and respectful pings to owners.

Alumni report that managers trust their proposals faster because the same card format appears in operational reviews.
