  "**Start with the question.** The top of the tree is the client's question, ending in a question mark.",
  "**Every split is clean.** Two to five branches that do not overlap; a single child is not a split, and overlapping siblings are named with the words they share.",
  "**Leaves are hypotheses.** Each leaf is something that might be true, with the analysis that would prove or disprove it.",
  "**No test, no analysis.** A leaf without a test is named; the team writes one before work starts.",
  "**Impact and ease decide the order.** High impact first; between equals, the easier.",
  "**The tree is the team's thinking.** The card checks its shape; the team owns what is in it."
