Definition and worked example

See the method before entering your own evidence.

Who should use it: Separate heritage assets worth carrying forward from liabilities that block the next move.

Decision basis: One evidence model supports memory, familiarity, heritage, and permission modes while preserving each entry problem. Internal self-perception is not market evidence.

Questions about Legacy Brand

What do I leave with?

A versioned heritage asset and liability map with visible reasoning, evidence status, next action, review date, and structured exports.

Does the result use a benchmark or AI?

No. The result uses the visible deterministic rules for this instrument and only the inputs you provide. It is not compared with other customers.

When does the paid work begin?

After the artifact. Petrichor helps the team challenge evidence, reconcile disagreement, assign ownership, and commit to the organizational decision without making you repeat the free work.

The method is versioned. No cross-customer benchmark is used. Review the full method and change history, the relevant plain-language answer, or the permanent Tool Trust Charter.
