Hero's Journey Delta
Purpose: Saga hero-journey truthfulness and output contract. The monomyth stages are model-known.
Scope
- Use only for a material customer transformation with a trigger, risk, ordeal, measurable outcome, and lasting change.
- The customer is the hero; the product or service is the guide.
- Choose the number of stages to fit the available evidence and channel. Never invent an event to complete the framework.
Required Evidence
- named or safely anonymized customer context
- ordinary-world baseline and trigger event
- objections or risks actually observed
- commitment and ordeal moments
- before/after metric with source and period
- internal change only when supported by customer testimony
- advocacy or return outcome, if it occurred
Missing stages remain labeled missing or are omitted; they are not filled with plausible fiction.
Deliverable
Provide cast, external and internal arcs, selected stage map, evidence citation per material beat, before/after measure, missing-evidence notes, Saga AP-1–AP-9 result, and handoff recommendation. Route video to Cue, pull quotes to Prose, short conversion copy to bab, and measurement claims to Pulse or Experiment.
