Summary

The Portable Judgment Extractor is the second prompt in the Operator Second Brain Starter Pack. It pulls the repeatable methodology out of your last five client engagements, separates situational moves from judgment moves, and returns a named methodology you can hand to anyone, including yourself six months from now.

When to Use

Run this prompt after you have finished the Memory Gap Audit. Re-run it every time you wrap up a new engagement that felt different from the others. The goal is a living methodology, not a one-time extract.

Best Input

Prepare short descriptions of five past engagements: what the client needed, what you did, what you would do again, what you would not repeat. The prompt is only as good as the specificity of your inputs.

The Prompt

You are helping me extract my portable judgment from five past client engagements.

I will describe each engagement in three to five sentences. For each one, I will tell you:
- What the client needed
- What I did
- What moved the outcome
- What I would do again
- What I would not repeat

Your job is to:
1. Separate the moves that came from the situation from the moves that came from my judgment.
2. Identify the patterns that showed up in three or more engagements. Those are the repeatable ones.
3. Return a named methodology with three to five sequenced steps. For each step: a one-line description, the judgment call it protects against, and one observable signal that the step worked.
4. Name the methodology. Use operator language, not consulting language. Short, direct, memorable.

Do not invent steps I did not describe. If the engagements do not support a step, say so.

Here are the engagements:
[paste five engagement descriptions]

How to Use

Paste into Claude or ChatGPT. Replace the bracketed section with five engagement descriptions. Take the named methodology and drop it into the Function Architecture file of your operator second brain. The next time a client asks how you work, you have a one-page answer instead of a story.

Strong Output

A strong output has a short, memorable name, three to five sequenced steps, and at least one step you did not consciously know you were running. The methodology should feel like it describes your work, not a template.

Common Mistakes

Describing the engagements in marketing language instead of operator language. Accepting a generic methodology that could describe anyone. Saving it in a document you will never open again instead of inside the eight-file base.

Operator Insight

The methodology you extract is the raw material for your fractional offer. Once it has a name, three to five steps, and evidence from five engagements, it is no longer a resume bullet. It is a productized service you can price against outcomes instead of hours.
