You can enter through identity, emotions, work, relationships, problem solving, or shared Traces.
What you can achieve with SELFTRACE
Choose what you want to achieve and follow an approximate route inside SELFTRACE.
This is not a technical manual: it is a goal-oriented guide
This guide is not meant as a technical manual but as a library of concrete outcomes. You choose the goal and SELFTRACE guides you on which modules to touch, in what order, and what kind of output you can build.
The current version of the system already combines map, reports, and case files. That is why this guide no longer speaks only about self-knowledge: it also shows how to turn that into conversation, intervention, sharing, or applied work.
The routes are approximate: they do not replace your judgment, but they save you from getting lost inside a broad system.
External AI expands language and options; the core reading still comes from SELFTRACE.
One reading can support multiple outcomes: self-description, hard conversation, work, couple work, or sharing.
Start from the right intent
If you do not know where to begin, first choose the type of outcome you want and then move into the specific exercise.
Understand myself better
To get a clear self-description, read your patterns, organize your biography, and understand your tensions.
Open this routeSolve something concrete
To turn the system into decisions, hard conversations, work clarity, strengths, and real problem solving.
Open this routeShare or relate better
For couple work, close relationships, Traces, shared profiles, and reading other people better.
Open this routeThree ways to use SELFTRACE in practice
If you present the system to someone new, it usually helps to pick one of these three doors before showing loose modules.
Read myself better
Enter through `What can I know about myself`, the integral map, and reports when the main need is personal clarity.
Solve a case
Enter through `Apply`, history, and the card when the need is to bring the map down to a real situation with actors, context, and decisions.
Share or present
Enter through traces, PDFs, prompts, reports, and curated materials when the need is to explain, teach, or circulate a piece.
How the system expands its value
SELFTRACE does not depend on external AI to detect you. It first organizes the reading and then you can use specific prompts to translate it, expand it, or turn it into a practical output.
Identity prompts
They turn your map into clear language about who you are, how you function, which tensions dominate, and how your life areas organize.
- Who I am
- Dominant and secondary patterns
- Tensions, coherence, and blind spot
- Light holistic diagnosis
- Likely master judgment
- Observer shift
- Linguistic tools
Biography prompts
They deepen one life area through history, references, entries, goals, and closures.
- Identity biography dossier
- Situated guidance
- Linguistic intervention
- Body prompt
- Area-specific guides
Emotional prompts
They help read installed mood, ask for regulation, reframe a story, and design more lucid micro-actions.
- Installed mood diagnostic
- Mood regulation
- Story reframing
- Linguistic intervention
- Body prompt
Real-problem prompts and final outputs
They turn a case into strategy and then translate it into final deliverables through external AI.
- Case prompt
- Executive summary
- Action plan
- Institutional brief
- PowerPoint-style deck
- Decision memo
- Workshop agenda
- FAQ
- Long-form article
- LinkedIn post
- X thread
- Carousel
- Video script
- Podcast outline
- Press release
Relational and interaction prompts
They help read another person better, prepare one-to-one crossings, and structure a delicate conversation or important bond.
- Cross-reading prompt
- Relational card for another person
- Interaction and guided-conversation questions

Approximate steps
What you can get
- A much more structured conversation about the bond.

- It forces you to separate evidence, hypothesis, and missing information.
- It is useful for relationships, negotiation, environmental reading, and relational preparation.
How to expand without losing structure
The best practice here is to ask the AI for cautious hypotheses, not certainties. The value is clarifying observed patterns, not guessing anyone's essence.

Approximate steps
What you can get

- It can end in a historical card, situational simulation, guided conversation, or a highly shareable public piece.
How to expand without losing structure
External AI works especially well here if you use it to expand style, language, and contrast between figures, but it helps to keep clear what comes from structured observation and what belongs to hypothetical recreation.

- It reduces cultural resistance because it clarifies goals, limits, and healthy use cases.
- It allows the system to be deployed as a means for transformation, not as an end in itself.
How to expand without losing structure
External AI can help you design onboarding plans, launch messages, training sessions, and resistance handling, but the north star must still be the human goal of transformation.
Useful rule: use SELFTRACE to detect and organize; use external AI to draft, contrast, rehearse, or convert the reading into another format.
Approximate steps
What you can get
- A more realistic implementation that depends less on initial enthusiasm.
- Higher adoption because people understand what it does for their real life.

- It works for exercises, questions, plans, scripts, and reformulations.
- It preserves judgment if you use AI as an extension, not as the main source of identity.
How to expand without losing structure
The healthy rule is simple: SELFTRACE detects and organizes; external AI helps write, expand, compare, or rehearse.
Useful rule: use SELFTRACE to detect and organize; use external AI to draft, contrast, rehearse, or convert the reading into another format.
Approximate steps
What you can get
- Better structured prompts and less generic AI use.
- More action ideas without losing method.
- A powerful combination between guided system and external linguistic support.
How to implement it to generate real transformation
The tool is only the medium. The real value lies in designing adoption so people achieve concrete goals: clarity, better conversations, less friction, better decisions, and more continuity.
1. Sell the idea through outcomes, not theory
Start from pain points and benefits: better coordination, self-knowledge, sharper feedback, less friction, better hiring, better coexistence, or more mature conversations.
2. Enter through simple, visible cases
Do not start from the whole platform. Pick one or two clear outcomes first: self-description, work strengths, a difficult conversation, couple work, or shared Traces.
3. Train by routes, not menus
Adoption improves when you teach journeys: 'if you want this, go here, then here, then here', instead of showing screens without context.
4. Generate practice and interaction
Push small challenges, guided sessions, one-to-one exercises, cohorts, weekly reviews, and shared examples. Transformation comes from sustained use, not isolated access.
5. Work through cultural resistance
Clarify limits: it is not a rigid label, not a clinical diagnosis, and not a control device. It is a reading, language, and judgment tool for concrete goals.
6. Adapt the rollout to the niche
In families enter through coexistence and conversation; in companies through leadership, coordination, or hiring; in clubs through cohesion and growth; in businesses through service, judgment, and role clarity.
7. Present the system as map + reading + case file
Adoption improves when you do not explain it as an endless menu. Today the clearest formula is: cartography to build evidence, reports to read it, and Apply to convert it into decisions and cases.
How to use this guide well
Start with one goal, not ten at the same time. Build a minimum cartography base first, then move into biography, emotion, Apply, or sharing depending on the case. If you use external AI, use it as a linguistic amplifier, not as a substitute for judgment.
