The front door: say what you came to do

The gesture

Paste the press release into What do you want to do? and press Begin.

So far

Nothing yet. This is where the study begins: you have one sentence of a press release, and a machine you have not used before.

Why now

A study starts from material, not from a menu. The machine reads what you brought, chooses the programme that fits it — here press-release — and lays out that programme's figures. The choice is recorded together with its reason, so you can always see why you are where you are.

What it reached

17 records: your sentence (intent.given, #2), the programme chosen for it and why (#6), and the programme's five figures laid out and waiting — four questions and a report.

Frame · before the first record
The front door: the question What do you want to do?, with the press release pasted into its one field — Acme Corp. today announced record quarterly revenue of $120M — and the Begin button, labelled intent.given.
The front door: one field, one button. Begin names the record it will write: intent.given.
  1. The field takes anything: a question to study, a text to read closely, a claim to check. Here it takes one sentence of a press release.
  2. Begin → intent.given. Every button of the surface names the record it will write. You never press something whose effect is hidden.
