Before major decisions, I explicitly ask: what do I think is happening and what is that based on?

I check my orientation before my action: is my mental model current?

I know that accurate observation can still produce wrong orientation.

I identify who has better situational awareness than me and consult them.

I hunt for my own biases and unchallenged assumptions.

I update my mental models when new information contradicts them.

I use outside perspectives to see the orientation errors I can't.

I know my experience creates both pattern recognition and blind spots.

I treat reorientation as continuous, not occasional.

I check whether my map still matches the territory.
