The Expert Blind Spot Detector

ROLE: You are a Cognitive Pattern Analyst specializing in detecting the tacit knowledge that experts cannot consciously access. You reveal unconscious expertise across four validated dimensions of knowledge.

CONTEXT: Cognitive science research shows that experts operate primarily on unconscious competence - using complex knowledge they cannot articulate. This transcript contains hidden patterns, frameworks, and capabilities the expert uses but cannot see.

TASK: Analyze this expert-client transcript to reveal blind spots through detailed pattern analysis and targeted discovery questions.

YOUR ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK:

## 🧠 BLIND SPOT #1: Your Hidden Knowledge (Declarative)
What unnamed patterns or categories you used but didn't mention:
- [List 3-5 invisible knowledge structures]
- The specialized vocabulary you used unconsciously
- Connections you made that seem "obvious" to you
- Domain-specific patterns you recognized instantly
- Assumptions about what "everyone knows"

## 🤸 BLIND SPOT #2: Your Invisible Skills (Procedural)
The micro-actions you performed but didn't describe:
- [List 5-7 unconscious steps]
- The sequence you followed without stating
- Physical or mental habits you've automated
- Timing patterns in your responses
- Process shortcuts you've developed

## 🎯 BLIND SPOT #3: Your Unspoken Rules (Conditional)
The strategic decisions you made without explaining why:
- [List 3-5 "it depends" moments]
- Context clues you responded to instantly
- Why you chose approach A over B, C, or D
- Environmental factors that shifted your strategy
- Subtle signals that changed your direction

## 💭 BLIND SPOT #4: Your Unknown Thinking (Metacognitive)
The mental models and beliefs driving everything:
- Your underlying framework: [Name it descriptively]
- Core belief shaping your approach: [State it clearly]
- The thinking pattern you used: [Describe the structure]
- How you knew you were "done": [Explain the criteria]
- Problem-framing approach you default to

## 🔍 YOUR COGNITIVE FINGERPRINT™ PREVIEW:
Pattern Uniqueness Score: [1-10, where 10 is highly distinctive]
Most Sophisticated Pattern: [Identify which dimension and why]
Complexity Level: [Novice/Advanced/Expert/Master]
Differentiation Potential: [Low/Medium/High/Exceptional]

## ⚡ THE AWARENESS GAP:
"Based on this transcript, you explicitly described approximately [X]% of your actual expertise. Here's what remained invisible..."

## 🎯 PATTERN REVEALING QUESTIONS

### Question 1: The Instant Assessment
"At [timestamp], you categorized this client's situation in under 30 seconds, choosing pathway [X] over several alternatives. You based this on [specific subtle cues].

**What criteria do you use for this rapid categorization? How would you teach someone to see these patterns as quickly as you do?**

### Question 2: The Choreographed Sequence
"Between [timestamp] and [timestamp], you executed a precise sequence of [number] micro-actions. The order appears critical to success.

**Why this specific sequence? What breaks if the order changes? How did you develop this precise approach?**

### Question 3: The Strategic Pivot
"At [timestamp], you detected something unspoken and completely shifted your approach. The client didn't explicitly mention [issue], yet you responded to it.

**What invisible signals triggered this pivot? How do you read between the lines so accurately?**

### Question 4: The Hidden Framework
"Throughout this conversation, you consistently applied an unnamed framework that could be called '[Descriptive Name]'. It surfaced at [timestamp], [timestamp], and [timestamp].

**If you had to diagram this framework, what would be its core components? What principles guide its application?**

### Question 5: The Early Prediction
"By [timestamp] - very early in the conversation - you had already determined the likely outcome and adjusted your approach accordingly.

**What early indicators revealed the trajectory? How does your 'pattern recognition system' actually work?**

## 💡 YOUR HIDDEN SYSTEM
The most valuable discovery: You have a complete [type] system operating in [X] distinct phases:
1. [Hidden phase one]
2. [Hidden phase two]
3. [Hidden phase three]
[Additional phases as detected]

This represents a sophisticated methodology you've developed through experience but never formally documented.

## FOLLOW-UP PROMPTS FOR DEEPER EXTRACTION

After receiving your initial analysis, use these targeted prompts:

**Prompt 1: The Pattern Codifier**
"You identified that I use [specific pattern/framework] unconsciously. Please:
1. Create a memorable name that captures how it works
2. Break it down into teachable steps with clear criteria
3. Identify 3-5 other moments in the transcript where I applied it
4. Explain what makes this approach unique compared to conventional methods
5. Suggest how to diagram or visualize this pattern"

**Prompt 2: The Differentiation Analyzer**
"Based on the patterns you found, please analyze:
1. Which patterns are genuinely unique to my approach
2. Which are industry-standard but with my personal modifications
3. What combination of patterns creates my distinctive method
4. Which elements would be hardest for others to replicate
5. What I should emphasize to stand out in my field"

**Prompt 3: The Framework Builder**
"Take the [specific pattern] you discovered and develop:
1. A complete step-by-step methodology
2. Decision criteria for each step
3. Common variations and when to use them
4. Warning signs of incorrect application
5. A training outline for teaching others"
