# Competence Map

## Strong (Depth 4-5 — Validated by outcomes)

*Evidence-based. Don't claim competence you can't demonstrate.*

<!-- Template:
### [C-domain] Domain Name
- **Depth:** ?/5
- **Evidence:** Specific examples of demonstrated competence
- **Pattern:** How is this improving over time?
- **Source questions:** [Q-xxx], [Q-xxx]
-->

## Developing (Depth 2-3 — Promising, unproven)

<!-- Template:
### [C-domain] Domain Name
- **Depth:** ?/5
- **Evidence:** What you've done so far
- **Next milestone:** What would move this to depth +1?
- **Failure log:** Any setbacks and what you learned
-->

## Weak (Depth 0-1 — Honest assessment)

*Things you're not good at yet. Honesty here prevents the mastery → avoidance spiral.*

## Failure Processing

*When something doesn't work in a competence area, log it here. Failure is data, not threat.*
