Carrier Development Pathway
A practical guide for developing someone who can protect the heart of the work, adapt it faithfully and form others.
Multiplication is not adding more helpers. It is developing people who can understand the heart, carry the method, exercise judgement and raise other carriers. Use this pathway with one emerging carrier over a real season of work.
The work multiplies when another person can carry its heart without borrowing your personality.

- Founding stories and the problem the work exists to serve.
- Non-negotiable convictions and where adaptation is welcome.
- Mistakes, tensions and lessons that shaped the present method.
- Standards that protect people and the integrity of the work.
