Catalysts: Nurture Experts

Accelerate your Operational Excellence (OE) journey by connecting with experienced peers (Catalysts) who share validated success patterns.

What is the Catalyst System?

Catalyst is Blankstate's integrated mentorship program focused on mastering OE. It connects users seeking guidance (OE Navigators) with high-performing peers (OE Catalysts) whose proven expertise is captured in evolving OE Catalyst Pattern Profiles.

OE Catalysts (Mentors)

Proven high-performers. Their dynamic profile starts empty and grows as they acknowledge system-identified success patterns ("Sequences") from their work, sharing validated expertise.

OE Navigators (Mentees)

Users seeking to improve OE performance by learning from a Catalyst's acknowledged success patterns and direct guidance.

It offers targeted guidance based on validated, real-world success patterns to help you advance on the Operational Excellence Spectrum (OES).

Key Ideas Behind Catalysts

  • OE Focused: Mentorship targets Blankstate Protocols, Metrics, OEI, and OES improvement.
  • Dynamic Profiles: Catalyst profiles start empty and grow *only* when the Catalyst acknowledges system-generated success sequence representations (Title, Summary, Steps). This reflects current, validated expertise based on achieving the "Excellence" OES band.

  • System Suggests, Human Validates: The system (IBF) privately identifies potential success patterns ("Threads") during high performance. Local AI generates a representation (Title, Summary, Steps). The Catalyst's private acknowledgement in Phantom Aura validates it, adding it as a public profile dimension.
  • Workflow Integrated: Features are embedded within tools like Streamed Impact, North Star, and Phantom Aura for contextual access.

How the Catalyst System Works

For Navigators (Seeking Mentorship)

Finding the Right Mentor:

  • Request mentorship via "Ask for Mentorship" options.
  • Browse Catalysts or get suggestions based on your OE goals.
  • Filter by acknowledged sequence content: Search keywords in the `Title`, `Summary`, or `Key Steps` on Catalyst profiles.
  • Review profiles, focusing on the detailed acknowledged patterns (dimensions).

Learning from Proven Patterns:

  • Explore the `Title`, `Summary`, and `Key Steps` of sequences on your Catalyst's profile.
  • Use these step-by-step patterns as examples and discussion points.
  • Optionally, "Follow a Sequence" via Phantom Aura for minimal, step-aware guidance during tasks (V1).

For Catalysts (Providing Mentorship)

Building Your Profile & Sharing Expertise:

  • Your OE Catalyst Pattern Profile starts empty.
  • When you achieve high performance (e.g., "Excellence" OES band), the system may privately detect successful patterns ("Threads").
  • Local AI generates a representation: proposed `Title`, `Summary`, `Key Steps`.
  • Receive a private notification in Phantom Aura to review this suggestion.
  • Crucial Step: Privately review the suggestion. If accurate, "Acknowledge" it (optionally edit Title). This adds it as a new dimension to your public profile.
  • Dismiss inaccurate suggestions. Your profile only reflects patterns you validate.
Example: Structure of a Suggested Sequence for Review

This is how a potential success pattern might be presented privately in Phantom Aura for your review before acknowledgement.

Proposed Title:Efficient Risk Disclosure - Protocol P12 - 2025-04-24

(System-generated, potentially editable)

Proposed Summary:

Clearly stated the disclosure requirement early using approved phrasing from Protocol P12, confirmed client understanding before proceeding, and documented confirmation. This approach minimized ambiguity, ensured compliance, and expedited the subsequent workflow steps.

(Explains *why* this sequence was likely effective)

Proposed Key Steps:
  1. Proactive Disclosure: State requirement upfront.
  2. Standardized Language: Use approved protocol phrasing (P12).
  3. Confirmation Check: Verify client understanding.
  4. Documentation: Record confirmation.
  5. Proceed with Confidence: Continue workflow.

(Actionable, transferable steps)

Acknowledging adds this (Title, Summary, Steps) as a new dimension to your public profile.

Mentoring Navigators:

  • Accept mentorship requests.
  • Use your acknowledged sequence dimensions (Title, Summary, Steps) as concrete examples.
  • View Navigator progress data (with permission) for targeted guidance.
  • Manage connections via your dashboard.

The Mentorship Interaction

  • Focus discussions on improving Navigator OE performance using Blankstate tools and your acknowledged patterns.
  • Use Blankstate's communication features.
  • Provide feedback on the mentorship experience to help refine the system.
