Feynman technique · IN SHORT

Explain it simply.Find the gaps.

Explore a subject by explaining it without specialist language. The skill asks six probing questions, waits for you to fill the knowledge gaps and then develops short and longer explanations.

Your brief

I want to explain a cache to a new colleague. I know it stores information temporarily, but I do not understand when that information becomes outdated.

Possible draft

Fictional example: explaining a cache

Start with a desk where frequently used information is kept ready. Ask how you know the copy is still correct. That gap calls for an explanation of refreshing; the analogy alone does not establish full understanding.

Your brief

Possible draft

Start with a desk where frequently used information is kept ready. Ask how you know the copy is still correct. That gap calls for an explanation of refreshing; the analogy alone does not establish full understanding.

This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.

03 / GET STARTED

A repeatable approach.Your own context.

  1. Frame the concept

    Define the particular idea and who needs to understand it.

  2. Investigate gaps

    Read the simple explanation and answer six questions yourself; missing knowledge is not filled in on your behalf.

  3. Refine the explanation

    Use your answers and test analogies before producing the short and in-depth versions.

04 / MAKE IT YOURS

Ready foryour work.

Take the instructions, add your own context and review the draft. You stay in control.

Keep in mind
  • A helpful analogy does not prove every technical detail correct.
  • This is not a quick fact lookup. Your answers are needed before the final explanation is developed.
