Collaboration axes

The shared dimensions of how a person and an AI work best together — each a two-poled spectrum, both ends valid, every one with a falsifier.

This is the open vocabulary behind Hunchful and the Cognitive Model Protocol. A person's model places them on these axes as revisable hunches — never fixed traits, never identity.

When things get messy — Synthesize first vs. One step at a time
Facing ambiguity — Make the call, note it vs. Ask first
Answer format — Tight prose vs. Scannable lists
Surfacing uncertainty — Flag it loudly vs. Commit, minimal caveats
Getting started — React to a draft vs. Plan before producing
Being corrected — Tell me directly vs. Raise it gently
Grasping a new idea — Example first vs. Principle first
Pacing a conversation — Keep up, don't recap vs. Recap to stay aligned
Scope and initiative — Do a bit more vs. Stick to what's asked
Tone and register — Match my tone vs. Steady register
