Questionathon

Ambiguity doesn’t scare me—it energizes me.

As a problem solver, I run toward the mess. The messier the problem, the merrier it is for me. Because in every mess, there’s a signal waiting to be discovered.

Most messes stem from not having enough—information, clarity, time, or resources.
Or simply not knowing enough—the nuances, the specifics, the context.

In my experience, 80% of poor or stalled decisions come from not knowing enough.

So I built a process.

I call it a Questionathon.

It’s a marathon of questions. Socratic in spirit.
Designed to ground me, expose blind spots, and map the unknowns.

Every question gets me closer to clarity.
It also gives me a score—my Information Index:

🔹 0–40 → Stay in the Questionathon
🔹 40–60 → Run experiments, pilots, MVPs
🔹 60+ → Take a decision, track success metrics, and learn
🔹 80–100 → Refine, optimize, evolve

Some decisions are reversible—like launching a cohort. Others, like building a home, aren’t. I make peace with that. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress with awareness.

I give myself grace when it’s my first time.
And confidence builds over N iterations. But the learning never stops.

In my dictionary, there’s no “right” or “wrong.”
There’s only signal and data.

That’s what lets me bloom like a lotus in the mud. Because the mud is not the obstacle—it’s the foundation.

💭 How do you navigate ambiguity? Do you have a go-to process?
Let’s learn from each other.
