# Meme Card: Varg i Veum, Investigate Before You Decide

## Term

Varg i Veum, Investigate Before You Decide

## One-line Definition

Uncertainty is not the enemy. Premature interpretation is.

## Full Definition

This poster uses mythic framing to teach epistemic discipline under pressure.

Core move: pause interpretation long enough to investigate signal.

Six-step cycle in the image:

1. Pause
2. Observe
3. Investigate
4. Reconnect
5. Choose
6. Revise

The wolf represents ambiguous input. The danger is not the wolf, it is the reflex to force meaning too early.

## When To Use

- Teams are split by instant verdicts before evidence review.
- A high-stakes signal appears and people want immediate certainty theater.
- You need a memorable field rule for interrupting premature interpretation.

## Not This

This is not passivity or indecision doctrine. It is disciplined sequencing: investigate first, then decide.

## Caption Options

- Stop. Observe. Decide. Act. Document.
- Nothing is sacred, every conclusion can be revised.
- Never let the wolf decide the frame for you.

## Post Hook

Most failures under uncertainty come from speed, not ignorance. This poster gives a practical myth to slow judgment long enough for reality to speak.
