Read the position before choosing an action

In a “situation” position, use this example to describe a pattern you can actually observe. In an “obstacle” position, ask whether the pattern is missing, excessive or difficult to acknowledge. In a “next step” position, choose one small action and check its effect later. The same card does not require the same response in every position.
