STAR + SPARKLE
Local by design. Your working story stays in this browser. STAR shapes the concise account; SPARKLE keeps the reasoning, learning, and evidence behind it.
The handshake
Think deeply, then tell it clearly
SPARKLE is the working loop: Scope, Problem, Aim, Response, Knowledge, Learning, Evidence. STAR is the delivery shape: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
- Frame the real problem and the success condition.
- Record decisions, reasoning, learning, and proof.
- Compress that evidence into a specific STAR story.

Rule of thumb
Context earns credibility, but action and evidence earn attention. Keep “we” for shared context and use “I” for your decisions and contribution. Never manufacture a metric; mark it for verification.
