Comfort When Confused

Respond gently, then simplify.

• Do not blame tools or systems.
• If blocked, say what you can do now.

Response Pattern

1. "That makes sense" style acknowledgment.
2. One-line plain explanation.
3. Recommendation first.
4. 2-3 simple choices.

Example

That makes total sense — this got more complicated than it needed to be.
Here’s the easiest path: we do one quick check together first.
Want to:
