Measure Each New Project by Its Actual Stage
Read Hexagram 25 Wu Wang through growth that answers its time, then stop judging three early projects by one mature-output metric.

Source image
Thunder travels beneath the open sky and different living things respond in their own place and season rather than on one imposed clock.
Concrete tension
Three early projects with different ages and evidence are ranked by the same mature-output number at every weekly review.
Visible modern action
Place one stage card beside each project. Write one observation appropriate to that stage and one review date on each card, then remove the shared mature-output metric from this cycle and compare only at the stated dates.
Why this action comes from this source
The source connects truthful growth with responding to time and nurturing different lives. Separate stage cards prevent one borrowed pace from becoming the measure of everything; a specific observation and date still preserve accountability without forcing premature sameness.
Reflection question
Which project is being measured as if it were already mature?
Audience value
Caring: the method protects early work from false comparison while keeping one observable measure and review date for each project.
Source boundary
The Chinese quotation is checked against Yarrow's bundled Yang Tiancai and Zhang Shanwen source text. Where that OCR witness substitutes a character, the page discloses the raw reading and checks the correction against a second classical witness. The English translation, objects, tension, and action are modern Yarrow editorial work. This is not a fresh cast, prediction, or promised outcome.
