The Four Gates

The check that stands between being able to publish and publishing.

By the end — You can hold your own work back, and say which gate stopped it.

  1. The first gate, and why it is about claims rather than intent.

  2. The second gate, and the question of whether this needs to exist at all.

  3. The third gate, and the difference between being correct and helping.

  4. The fourth gate, and the mismatch between what you can produce and what fits.

  5. All four together, why a held gate is the system working, and how the app records it.
