Repeatable Work
Notes for making a small investigation understandable to the next reader.
This notebook begins with field check and follows the question into a few related readings. Each note introduces one distinction, gives an ordinary example and ends with an idea to carry into a small check. Use the index to choose a starting point and return to it when the question changes.

Finish a small piece of work
An action finishing is useful evidence. The result that another person will use deserves its own check and a short route back.
Read a reference note with a question in hand
A reference page is easier to use when you know which decision it should help you make. Reading can be a small, directed part of the work.
A route through this collection
The opening reading, leave a connection check easy to repeat, introduces the main question. The next two readings offer different ways to look at it: finish a small piece of work and read a reference note with a question in hand.
Each reading stands on its own and links to its neighbours. Follow the section list to a useful distinction, then return to the index when the question changes. A short record of what you observed will be more useful than reading everything at once.
