Behavioral Science

Episodic questions, menus, and confession questions pull honest detail without feeling like an interview.

What it is

Behavioral science here means question shapes that match how memory actually works. Episodic questions ask for a specific scene — a room, a meeting, a decision — not abstract opinions. Menus offer bounded choices so you are never staring at a blank field. Confession questions invite the awkward truth: what you almost said, what you skipped, what you are still unsure about.

Where it shows up

Across every mode, prompts are built from these shapes. You pick from menus when a range is known; you tell a scene when context matters; you confess when the useful detail is the one you would normally leave out. The filing happens behind the questions — you just answer in plain language.
