AUDIENCE-SITUATION CARD

BLANK WORKSHEET — no signup or customer data required

One card per audience hypothesis. A public observation needs a locator; invented scenarios remain assumptions. The next action can be learning or listening without a purchase.

Use blank fields for your own planning. Blank does not mean zero.
Use unknown, missing, proposed, or not applicable when appropriate.
Do not paste private customer/student details into these worksheets.

Specific person and situation:
  Guidance: Avoid everyone or demographic shorthand alone.

Task or taste:
  Guidance: What do they want to do, understand or experience?

Prior knowledge:
  Guidance: What can you reasonably assume? Label uncertainty.

Constraints:
  Guidance: Time; format; access; knowledge; other actual constraint.

Current alternative:
  Guidance: Known or hypothesized existing source or approach.

Where question appears:
  Guidance: Actual public locator or assumption; no private-group scraping.

Actual observation:
  Guidance: Only what was really observed; no fabricated interviews.

Assumptions remaining:
  Guidance: Separate from observations.

Useful first contribution:
  Guidance: A complete answer or experience that does not require a sale.

Why example fits:
  Guidance: Same task and level as the intended audience.

Competence boundary:
  Guidance: What you cannot responsibly teach or claim.

Next action:
  Guidance: Practice; read; listen; reply if appropriate; other honest continuation.

Participation rules:
  Guidance: Relevant community rules if participating; no spam.

Negative signal:
  Guidance: What would disconfirm the audience or contribution fit?

Exposure evidence:
  Guidance: Known; unknown; actual aggregate observation if available.

Time budget:
  Guidance: Owner-defined capacity for contribution and response.

Next check:
  Guidance: Improve introduction; investigate fit; provide continuation; defer.
