​
Ponder with a Parable

​
Sources

Docs: Ponder Primer Web App: Open Ponder from your Workspace sidebar, then select or create a Problem and open the Parable or Piece that should provide context. A Parable in Ponder supports work that begins with a question, decision, risk, or desired outcome. It keeps the conversation attached to the material being considered so the result can be reviewed later.

​
Start one durable Problem

1

Name the outcome

Create a Problem whose title another Workspace member can recognize.
2

Open the relevant context

Select the Parable, version, Patch, or Piece that the next request should consider.
3

Choose an approach

Select a Persona, response profile, and any Powers needed for this request.
4

Send a clear Message

State the outcome, constraints, and evidence that would make the result trustworthy.
5

Review before acting

Check sources, proposed actions, audience, and Proofs. Approve only the exact action you intend.

​
Keep context and conversation together

Opening a different Piece can sharpen the next request without erasing earlier Messages. Each part of the Problem remains reviewable with the context used at that moment. Keep the same Problem while refining one outcome; create another when the outcome, owner, or review path changes. Use a Ping when another person should consult or be informed. Use Proofs when a claim needs evidence. Neither mentions nor Pings bypass Workspace access.
