Mark Reynolds — The Ten-Question Relationship Audit for High-Value Targets

Key Takeaways

• The Ten-Question Audit is a structured Bayesian assessment — each question generates a likelihood ratio that either confirms or challenges the "normal person" hypothesis.
• 90% of people score 0-4 (green zone). The audit strengthens trust when tests pass — it's verification, not suspicion.
• The Camera Test works because a free person has maximum entropy in political expression; an operative has a constrained expressive space with a "forbidden zone" around their authority.
• Serial, specific, work-related curiosity (tracking your projects across conversations) is fundamentally different from normal episodic curiosity about your day.
• "Applied awareness" is the meta-skill: conscious observation without judgment, pattern-matching to reality, not threats. The opposite of paranoia.
• The FBI's counterintelligence division handles relationship-vector inquiries confidentially. Most consultations result in "there's nothing here" — which is itself a valuable outcome.
• Evidence-based peace of mind is infinitely more valuable than assumption-based peace of mind. Five minutes on the quiz buys verified calm.
