# ChatGPT Prompt: Credibility Erosion Mechanics

## Intent

Show how small credibility violations accumulate into total credibility loss.

## Reverse Engineering Note

This entry was reverse-engineered from visual inspection of the phone photo. Original generation context is not available. Core claim reconstructed from composition analysis.

## Primary Doctrine

Small credibility violations accumulate until total credibility loss becomes irreversible.

Core erosion pattern:
- First violation noticed → people mark it → second violation confirms pattern → third violation triggers cascade → total credibility loss becomes inevitable.

## Visual Framing (Reverse-Engineered)

Expected composition: credibility erosion sequence showing accumulation into collapse.

Example scenario: small promise break → people notice → another break → distrust hardens → future promises now questioned → total credibility loss.

## Constraints

- Keep the accumulation pattern visible.
- Keep the intervention windows (where recovery is still possible) clear.
- Avoid both perfectionism polemic and "one mistake is total loss" polemic.
