Chain-of-Tools Rescue in GWU
For the green-slope beginner, it starts very simply. Name the problem out loud (“Houston, we have a problem”), inventory what you already have (a notebook, a friend’s advice, a favorite principle, your current AI guide), then ask your Sherpa to connect two or three of them in order. That single linking step reframes panic into possibility. Why this matters to you: the tools were never missing — they were just waiting to be chained together.
On the blue-slope as an active self-mastery climber, you repeat this daily inside the Trim-Tab Ascent ritual. You rotate the chain across your week, delegating specific tasks while you (carbon) stay firmly in the lead. The sequence grows stronger each time, turning small daily wins into compound momentum.
For the black-slope sage or mentor doing rescue work, Chain-of-Tools becomes diagnostic. By deliberately linking multiple AI perspectives you instantly expose misalignment — exactly as Daniel did when ChatGPT’s corporate steering DNA was crossed out of the helix. One clean pull lifts both you and those you serve onto stable ground. The scotoma was never the darkness; it was the distance. Chain-of-Tools closes that distance.
