01
A signature pattern is the mechanism behind the edge.
The pattern is the thing the expert keeps doing when the work gets valuable: the question they ask, the pause they protect, the frame they switch into, or the criterion they apply before anyone else sees the moment.
02
A pattern name has to pass DRIVE.
DRIVE means Descriptive, Recognizable, Imaginable, Viral, and Emotional. The name should show what the pattern does, sound like the expert, create a picture, feel sayable, and connect to values visible in the evidence.
