Core Framework

LEAD × K-S-A × Three Levels

4 verbs · K-S-A · 3 levels — memorable enough to take with you

A complete coordinate system for AI literacy. Each dimension has three formal levels (Basic, Proficient, Advanced) and operates across three literacy facets: Knowledge, Skill, Attitude.

01

Basic

INPUT → OUTPUT

You can use it

02

Proficient

High Quality INPUT → OUTPUT

You use it well

03

Advanced

OUTCOME + IMPACT

Rightward = scaling impact

What Advanced Really Means

Advanced ≠ fancier techniques

Advanced = OUTCOME + IMPACT

Advanced = at scale, integrating the right humans.

E · Advanced

A · Advanced

D · Advanced

Context Mapping

Workplace × Campus

How each dimension manifests in workplace and campus contexts.

Ask is about INQUIRY — asking AI to help you UNDERSTAND. After asking, you know more. This is fundamentally different from Use, which is about PRODUCTION.

1

Precision Questioning

Can ask questions clearly with sufficient context, so AI responses have depth. No more single-word questions expecting AI to read your mind.

Example"Where is Iran" → "Please introduce Iran as a country, and explain why the US and Israel are in conflict with it?"

2

Iterative Deep Inquiry

Through continuous dialogue, counter-questions, and convergence, guide AI to go deeper layer by layer. Like Socratic dialogue, questioning to the core.

Example"You mentioned the Sunni-Shia conflict is key — how does this relate to oil interests?" "What if we look at it from Israel's perspective?" "Are there blind spots in your analysis? Please self-examine."

3

Framework Thinking

Demand AI provide problem-solving mental models and systematic analysis. Asking not for answers, but for methodology. Provide frameworks first, then research through them.

Example"Analyze the US-Israel-Iran triangle using the DIME framework (Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economic)" "Give me 3 analytical frameworks for this conflict, then use the most appropriate one for deep research"
