What it cost, and what it was worth
[PARTICIPANT FIRST NAME] finished. Not the way the plan said, and not without giving something up — which is the honest version of what six months does.
[PARTICIPANT FIRST NAME] finished [THE THING] on [DATE OR MONTH], roughly [VARIANCE] from where the original plan said it would land.
We are including that gap on purpose. Six-month transformations get sold as clean arcs and they are not clean. This one was not.
What it took
[THE ACTUAL INPUTS — hours per week, money spent, what was moved to make room.]
What it cost
[WHAT WAS GIVEN UP — plainly. Time with people, another project shelved, money, sleep, a version of themselves they liked.]
Anyone who tells you a six-month commitment is free is selling something. It is not free. The question the project asks is not whether it costs anything — it is whether the thing you have been deferring is worth the specific price, and whether you would rather pay it now or keep paying the other one.
[PULL QUOTE — ideally the participant on the trade.]
Where it left them
[OUTCOME. Specific. Include what is still unfinished.]
[CLOSING LINE.]
