If a file path is provided, read the file. If a description is provided, understand the context.
Determine the nature of the knowledge:
Tacit indicators:
Explicit indicators:
Based on the artifact and its context:
| If the artifact is... | The phase is likely... |
|---|---|
| Shared experience, observation notes | Socialization output |
| New documentation of understanding | Externalization output |
| Synthesis of multiple sources | Combination output |
| Applied knowledge, practice results | Internalization output |
| If the artifact contains... | The asset type is... |
|---|---|
| Shared experiences, cultural knowledge | Experiential |
| Concepts, designs, specifications | Conceptual |
| Organized databases, integrated docs | Systemic |
| Procedures, how-to guides, skills | Routine |
Check for:
Based on the phase, suggest the natural next step in the spiral:
| Current Phase | Natural Next Phase | Suggested Action |
|---|---|---|
| Socialization | Externalization | Document the shared understanding |
| Externalization | Combination | Integrate with existing knowledge |
| Combination | Internalization | Practice and apply the knowledge |
| Internalization | Socialization | Share what was learned |
Recommend the enabling context for the next step:
| Next Phase | Recommended Ba |
|---|---|
| Socialization | Originating Ba - shared exploration space |
| Externalization | Dialoguing Ba - articulation space |
| Combination | Systemizing Ba - integration space |
| Internalization | Exercising Ba - practice space |
