PWR-241 · Ethical, Purposeful & Self-Governed Capability

Value clarity

Value clarity is not finding the “right” values. It is making one decision’s trade-offs more visible while keeping uncertainty and choice legitimate.

Explanation is not permission.

This dossier explains the evidence and its limits. It is not a diagnosis, personal recommendation, assessment, clearance, performance promise or training programme. Actionable teaching appears only when the canonical Power record explicitly authorises it.

Complete bounded explanation

What this power means.

Capability to develop or express value clarity in a declared context without inheriting broader claims.

What the current evidence supports

A structured exercise may help some people clarify trade-offs for one decision, but effects conflict across trials; it cannot discover a single true value system or prescribe the correct choice.

How to observe or measure it without overclaiming

For one chosen decision, record option understanding, personally stated trade-offs, decisional conflict/preparation, choice congruence and later regret—with no ranking of the values themselves.

Myth

Reveal your one true value system

Metric

Decision-specific understanding, stated trade-offs, congruence and later regret

Boundary

The exercise cannot determine correct values or a permanent identity.

Negative and limiting findings

  • One trial found little immediate or three-month change and selected later benefit; an independent trial found no added improvement in decisional conflict, intent, perceived values concordance or self-efficacy.

Claims this evidence cannot support

  • Discover your true permanent values
  • Value clarity score
  • Correct values
  • Uncertainty is failure

How to learn this Power now.

The learner produces a one-page low-stakes decision map with two competing values, observable behaviours, affected interests, uncertainty, a reversible action and a scheduled review.

  1. Get readyChoose a reversible decision with no health, safety, legal, financial or relationship consequence.
  2. Learn the method8 concrete steps teach the permitted method from start to finish.
  3. See right and wrong4 comparisons show correct or safer execution beside common wrong or riskier choices.
  4. PractiseUse the method on no more than one low-stakes decision per week for four weeks. Revisit the same decision after one month only if it still matters; progress means clearer trade-offs and revision, not a higher value score.
  5. Check progressScore decision clarity, two value sources, behaviours/look-alikes, affected interests, fact/value separation, trade-off, reversible action and review outcome; record burden and fit.

Authority boundary: Titan teaches a concrete low-stakes method step by step while keeping evidence and transfer claims bounded. The method is Power-specific; its actionability follows this treatment.
