Knowledge workflow cycle

Core Framework

The workflow cycle helps decide where each note belongs: capture raw ideas, preserve sources, study questions, synthesize drafts, collect durable models, and export finished work.

Sub-question Map

What still belongs in inbox?
Which source should remain unchanged?
Which question needs more evidence?
Which model is mature enough to collect?

Key Concepts

Representative Case

The source note /sources/macro/2026-q1-global-capital-markets-review feeds the question note /questions/macro/rate-cut-stock-market and this study note.

Publishing Ideas

When the study note becomes stable, use publish.target: blog on a study or collected note instead of creating a separate blog-candidate directory.
