    Create the sliceBuild the local historical segment and inspect the no-leakage note.

A time slice is useful for post-mortems, category histories, campaign reconstruction, and testing whether an old promise was credible then.

Name the audience as they existed then

Include geography, role, category behavior, and constraints.

Choose a precise historical boundary

“March 2020 before widespread lockdowns” is better than “during COVID.”

Name the decision

What should this reconstruction help you decide?

Create an audience of [who] as they existed in [period]. Use only conditions, media, prices, and expectations available then. State assumptions, separate sourced facts from modeled assumptions, and list present-day knowledge you excluded.
Unfilled variables remain in brackets.

Historical sources are not synthetic respondents

Sources establish the world around the audience. Synthetic responses model how that audience might react inside that world. Do not merge those evidence classes.
