What “Outcomes” means here

This page exists to show you that PaperFrame•7 produces concrete decision clarity and execution direction — not vague “retreat vibes”.

Cohort SizeN=6

Psych Safety9.7/10

Clarity (Day 1→6)4.8 → 9.3

High-Stakes Trust 6/6*

Method note: Clarity (Day 1→6) comes from in-workbook 0–10 self-ratings captured on Day 1 and Day 6. All other metrics on this page come from a post-retreat follow-up (recall-based). Aggregated and anonymized.

High-Stakes Trust Metric: “I would trust you with my most stressed, high-performing colleague.”
*One "Yes" was conditional upon minor operational refinements and expanded peer-to-peer work (both already integrated into V2).

Anonymous Pilot Audit

Beyond the satisfaction scores (see above), we tracked the specific mechanics of the week.

Self-reported post-retreat follow-up (recall-based) referencing Day 4–6 experiences. N=6. Aggregated and anonymized.

The Arc Stress Test

Day 4 (The Silence Reset)

We removed dopamine to force clarity. How did the silence feel?

Too Light

Sweet Spot

5/6

Too Heavy

1/6

Day 5 (The Prototype)

We moved from thinking to building. Did the 'Physical Anchor' feel like a strategy tool or a distraction?

Strategy Tool

4/6

Neutral

2/6

Distraction

Context: This stress test validates the founder's resilience. Day 4 proved that removing noise creates clarity (83% sweet spot), while Day 5 confirmed that "getting hands dirty" acts as a solid strategy tool rather than a distraction.

Operational Gain

Day 6 (The Subtraction)

We applied a subtraction protocol. How much friction will you eliminate?

2–5 Hours

5+ Hours

4/6

Context: Using the Law of Displacement on Day 6, participants identified an average of 5+ hours of low-value friction to "liquidate" immediately.

Patterns Observed

Tangible Strategy: The 'Physical Anchor' (Day 5) was consistently rated as the primary tool for solidifying decisions, beating pure cognitive reflection.
Safety First: Psychological safety scored 9.7/10, correlating with strict 'Container' rules (Confidentiality & Autonomy).
Execution Focus: 4/6 participants identified 5+ hours of weekly 'busy work' to eliminate immediately upon return.
