It is a process whereby the client writes or draws the answer to the Over-Driving or Download questions on the mission statement or onto new sheets of paper.

The instruction is simply: “Ok, so put that on there.” or variations on this.

===== Purpose =====
To make sure the existing and new knowledge is recognised, that it has residence (an address), a source.

It puts the knowledge in relationship to everything else.

It allows A to release and let go of the information.

It saves the facilitator and client from having to remember what has been said.

It short-circuits the linguistic patterns people have, when they tend to ‘talk’ their way out of situations and it also provides another channel for the aspect of you stuck in a ‘[[theory:secondary_worlds|Secondary World]]’ to communicate, via the drawing or semantics on the paper.

===== Methodology =====
This process can be interlaced with the Over-Driver process in the usual 3 ways:

**Iterative**
  * “And what else can go on there.”

**Ordinal – from 1st to 6th**
  * “And what is the 2nd thing that can go on there.”

**Cardinal – Global or Large Chunk**
  * “And what are 6 things that can go on there.”
