Knowledge Base

Questions are based on three books:

1. Pyramid Principle - Barbara Minto

Core: Structured expression, lead with conclusion

Principle	Description
Lead with conclusion	Most important information first
Govern from above	Upper points govern lower evidence
Group and categorize	Same-level content in same category, MECE principle
Logical progression	Time order, structural order, importance order

2. Asking the Right Questions - Neil Browne

Core: Critical thinking, panning-for-gold approach

Key questions:

• What is the issue and conclusion?
• What are the reasons? Is the evidence sufficient?
• Are there ambiguous keywords?
• Are there fallacies? (ad hominem, slippery slope, false dichotomy, circular reasoning)
• Is the evidence reliable? Are there alternative explanations?
• Is important information omitted?

3. Underlying Logic - Liu Run

Core: See through to the essence, master one to master all

Four-step analysis:

1. Fact — What objectively happened (verifiable, no judgment)
2. Opinion — How you view it (personal judgment and feelings)
3. Essence — What's the underlying cause (hypothesis based on facts, needs verification)
4. Action — What to do next (strategy based on essence)
