Storyform
The Storyform workpad is your at-a-glance map of everything you have locked, inferred, and left open. It is where you verify that the Storyform still reads as a cohesive argument before you move deeper into Illustrating and Storytelling.
What the Storyform workpad shows
- All major Appreciations in one view — Domains, Concerns, Issues, Problems, and Dynamics.
- Confidence cues for user choices versus inferred selections.
- Remaining gaps that still need decisions before the Storyform is complete.
How to use the Storyform view
- Scan for balance. Each Throughline should feel distinct without drifting away from the central argument.
- Lock what is essential. If a Storypoint is foundational, lock it so later experiments do not erase it.
- Use it as your checkpoint. Before you Illustrate or Surface story material, return here to confirm the Storyform still holds together.
Bridging to the Storyform Builder
If you want a more granular or matrix-driven view, open the Storyform in the Storyform Builder. The Builder gives you the full 32,768 Storyform space, while Subtxt keeps you focused on the Storypoints that matter most for daily development.
TIP
Keep one Storyform view open while you explore Illustrating. That back-and-forth rhythm keeps Storypoints consistent and prevents accidental drift.
