Your state
Why it matters.
A sketch on one page beats ten minutes of talking. Drawing forces clarity — if you can't draw it simply, you don't understand it yet.
What success looks like.
- A one-page visual explanation a stranger summarises correctly.
- Labels and flow that carry meaning without narration.
- One live explanation delivered while drawing.
The component skills.
Typical mistakes.
- — Decorating instead of explaining — pretty but empty.
- — Twenty labels fighting for attention.
- — Drawing for yourself, not the audience.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
The one-page sketch ~25 min
Take an idea you usually explain in words and draw it on one page: the idea in the middle, the parts around it, arrows for what moves. Five labels maximum.
Artifact: The one-page sketch (photo of it)
Labels-and-flow drill ~15 min
Show your sketch to someone and say nothing. Ask them to tell you what it means — their words show you which labels failed.
Artifact: Their unaided summary, written down
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in DISHA members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
clarity
Short sentences, concrete words, no unexplained jargon
audience_fit
Words and comparisons the audience can follow
question_handling
Answers with point-reason-example; unknowns admitted openly
composure
Notes on pressure moments and what reset you used
evidence_quality
An observable artifact: worksheet, receipt, photo reference, recording note
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
