Preserve the Method Outside the App
The YY Method should remain usable directly from the website.
Capture
The YY Method should remain usable directly from the website.
Why
- the doctrine should not create software dependence;
- cognitively heavy thinkers may self-apply it;
- users can inspect the governing logic;
- the app must earn its value through continuity and reduced operational friction.
This decision makes Decision Tree easier to build because the website teaches the doctrine and the app operationalizes the ritual.
Why-Not
The rejected path would make preserve the Method Outside the App too easy to treat as an implementation detail instead of a public boundary. The ADR preserves the tradeoff explicitly so later product work cannot silently widen authority.
Commit
Decision: The YY Method should remain usable directly from the website.
GPT can help a person think. The YY Method app reduces friction around using the method and restores friction at the moments where judgment is most likely to become premature.
This decision makes Decision Tree easier to build because the website teaches the doctrine and the app operationalizes the ritual.
Confidence: Medium-high for public architecture; implementation details remain private and subject to launch evidence.
