Layer 1 · The Surface Pattern

Your Coaching Workspace

01 Specific

A concrete action — not a label or personality trait.

Label: She's protective.
Behavior: She volunteers at the Reaping.

02 Visible

Put a camera on your character — would this show up on film?

Invisible: He feels compelled to understand.
Visible: He picks up objects others ignore and examines them.

03 Recurring

A pattern across relationships, contexts, and time. Not one moment.

Moment: She protected Prim at the Reaping.
Pattern: Prim, then Rue, then Peeta — each time, different context.

04 Consequential

It shapes relationships, decisions, and the arc of the story.

Decorative: She hums when nervous.
Consequential: Her self-sacrifice reshapes every alliance she makes.
