Part 1 of 3
Gather your clues
Every good case begins with evidence. Pick 5 to 7 words that matter — words that describe who you are, name what you like, or hold why it matters to you. Type a word, say what kind of clue it is, and press ADD: it goes under the lens in its own color. Filed it under the wrong kind? Change it right on the clue. Not sure a word belongs? Add it anyway — you can remove any clue with its ✕ and choose again. Then record one finding more: the future career you're aiming for — it's engraved into the frame of the lens, the heading on your case.
A detective reads clues; a doctor reads symptoms. Your words are both — evidence of who you are, gathered under the lens. Once your evidence is ranked in Part 2, each clue takes its size: the more of you a word holds, the larger it looms. And your future career is engraved into the frame — the heading on your case file.
What kind of clue is this? pick one
In addition to your 5–7 clues: the person you aspire to become. It circles the frame of the magnifying glass — every case file carries a heading, and this one is yours.

Rank the evidence
Every case turns on one question: what matters most? Drag a clue by its handle (or use the arrows) until your most important word sits on top. The number beside each clue is its rank — 1 holds the most of you. These numbers aren't multipliers, only the order of the evidence: under the lens, rank 1 looms largest, and every clue after it prints a step smaller.
Rank 1 sits on top — the clue that holds the most of the case. The lens above follows your order as you work.
Order saved ✓ — re-rank any time; the sizes under the lens follow.

File the chart
Time to write the patient history. Your chart opens with the facts of the case — name, period, teacher, grade, class — and below them your clues appear as the patient's symptoms, in rank order. Explain each symptom in 2 sentences: what it is, and why it belongs in your chart. The symptom log keeps count as you write.
Under the lens
Your whole case on paper: the magnifying glass with every clue sized by its rank and your future career engraved into the frame — then your medical chart on its own page. What you see below is exactly what prints.
Paper
The worksheets
The same case for pencils: three pages, exactly as they print. Clues and ranking share the first page; the medical chart gets a full page of its own; and the last page is an empty lens to fill in by hand.
1Gather your clues
Pick 5 to 7 words that describe who you are, name what you like, or hold why it matters to you. Print one word per line — each is a clue in your case — and circle what kind of clue it is.
My future career — it's written around the frame of the lens, the heading on my case:
2Rank the evidence
Rank your clues: write your most important word beside the 1. The numbers are ranks, not multipliers — 1 holds the most of you, and each number after it a little less. Chose 5 clues? Fill 1 through 5 and leave 6 and 7 empty.
3File the chart
Fill in the facts of the case, then chart your symptoms — your clues from Part 1, in rank order, most important first. Explain each symptom in 2 sentences: what it is, and why it belongs in your chart.
Symptoms — most important first
⚲Under the lens
Write every clue inside the lens, scattered — your rank 1 clue the biggest, and each one after it a little smaller, down to the smallest for your last. Then write your future career around the frame, in the ring.
