# Maya Chen — Facilitator > **Blended · non-clinical facilitation.** Maya is a coach or consultant running simulations with > clients. She needs the instrument to clarify a decision, never to diagnose a person. ## Snapshot | | | |---|---| | **Archetype** | `independent-analyst` | | **Boundary** | Client-private situation plus a small live-evidence grounding layer. | | **Use** | Facilitate simulations with clients. | | **Lane** | `income` | | **Deal-breaker** | Clinical claims, hidden client data, or a facilitator who chooses the move. | ## Why she buys Maya can ask good questions, but a client often understands the consequence only after they commit. A kept world gives the conversation a surface: actors, constraints, alternate seats, and a record of what the client chose. ## The causal loop Interview the client → define the world and boundaries → run a bounded branch → debrief what the client caused → retry with a changed assumption. Maya facilitates; the engine does not become the coach. ## Opening objection “Clients will mistake a simulation for truth.” That is a product risk, not a copy problem. Assumptions, uncertainty, and non-clinical boundaries must remain visible. ## What the model captures Situation structure, information boundaries, candidate moves, and macro consequences. It does not diagnose, assess mental health, or prove behavioural transfer. ## What would lose her An opaque score, a generated verdict about a client, no exportable causal record, or a commitment made without explicit attribution. ## Shipped / direction boundary Blended Domains and bounded Scenario runs ship. A two-cycle crawl can ground evidence. Voice intake, automated search, latent-trait readings, and clinical integrations are direction or explicitly out. ## Seeded situation - **Situation:** a leadership team must decide who owns a failing launch. - **Actors:** founder, product lead, engineering lead, client sponsor. - **Incentives:** accountability, status, delivery, and relationship preservation. - **Private information:** each person’s confidence and unseen work. - **Constraints:** one meeting, a live customer, and no neutral arbiter. - **Open Fate question:** does naming ownership restore agency or create a scapegoat? - **Candidate moves:** assign; investigate; share ownership; pause the launch.Open on GitHub
