PROBLEM COMPETENCY IN THE AI ERA · COMPANION PRACTICE

Six-Loop Questioning

Daily Compounding · Record, Think, Ask, Act, Review, Transform

Start with one real experience. Use the six prompts to record what happened, examine assumptions, and sharpen a question. You decide how to act and what the feedback supports. Each loop includes a question you can practice with right away.

At most one question per turnStart where you need and pause anytimeYou confirm the question and judgment
HOW THE LOOPS WORKStart with experience, learn from feedback, and test what transfers

START WITH AN EVERYDAY RECORD

An experience worth recording can hold a question worth asking.

Keep your own account first. Separate what happened, how it felt, and how you interpret it. You can also begin with an existing question, a planned action, or feedback from something you tried. Move forward or return to a loop when you need more information.

QUWEI YE’S SIX-LOOP QUESTIONING FRAMEWORK

Carry real experience into the next practice

The loops can be revisited. If you simply want to make a record, stop there. If you have acted and results are still pending, keep the case open.

01记

Record

Capture a real situation

Preserve the original account and separate facts, feelings, interpretations, and open claims.
02思

Think

Examine goals and assumptions

Notice the grounds for your judgment and consider alternative explanations.
03问

Ask

Find the question worth pursuing

Choose the question that matters and confirm it in your own words.
04行

Act

Design a small test

State the expectation, observation, and acceptance criteria before recording what you actually did.
05复

Review

Revise in light of feedback

Compare expectations with outcomes. Separate observations, explanations, and open questions.

Which experience would you like to capture as it happened?

Keep your own account and distinguish facts, feelings, interpretations, and open claims. You can stop here if you only want to make a record.

Online AI follow-ups are pending activation. The guided loops are available now.

Open the Six-Loop practice worksheet

Start at any loop and leave other fields blank. If Review has no observed feedback, the export will mark it as pending.

HUMAN–AI BOUNDARIES

You confirm the question and own the decision

AI can assist

  • Organize accounts and separate facts from interpretations
  • Compare question wordings and possible actions
  • Flag judgments that need evidence
  • Ask one follow-up when it adds value

You remain responsible

  • Confirm what happened and how it felt
  • Choose the question worth pursuing
  • Take action and bring back real feedback
  • Explain where the experience can transfer

Keep the first question, reasons for revising it, and real feedback in one case record.
