When should I use this framework?
Use this framework when you want to explain an idea that people think is complicated.
Instead of starting with information, you start with a shared experience everyone already understands.
What do people already recognize before I explain it?
People don’t remember explanations.
They remember experiences.
This framework helps you borrow a familiar memory to explain a new idea.
Instead of telling people…
You help them discover the answer themselves.
Name — Trigger Recognition
Question — What’s a memory almost everyone shares?
