Practitioner Playbooks
Ten procedures, each producing a specific artifact. Where a practice rests on measured evidence, the closing note of the chapter says which. Where it rests on reasoning because no published measurement exists, the chapter says that instead. Both kinds appear here, and the distinction is never blurred.
