Building Your Own Case Library
Last updated 5/21/2026
Finishing the course does not make someone accurate. Practice does, but only if it is recorded.
A case library turns readings into evidence. It lets you see where your selection, strength, timing, wording, or confidence was right or wrong.
The library is not a portfolio. It is a calibration tool. Its value depends on keeping failures, partial hits, delayed outcomes, and ambiguous charts alongside the clean wins.
Write the prediction before the outcome is known. If the result is already known, the case may still teach mechanics, but it should not be counted as evidence for your forecasting accuracy.
Record what was actually asked, not what you later think it meant.
Career, health, legal, wealth, relationship, travel, documents, weather, or broad redirect.
Date, hexagrams, moving lines, target, support, obstacle, and timing state.
What you said, how confident you were, and what date or window you named.
Record the actual result, including dates, partial outcomes, and whether the verification window has passed.
Tag selection errors, strength errors, missed dynamics, timing errors, and wording issues.
Review categories
The rest of the reading cannot recover if the answer-bearing line was wrong.
Void, break, bind, clash, hidden movement, or transformation was misread.
The judgment may be right while the timing candidate is wrong.
The analysis may be right but delivered with too much certainty or too little use.
Keep prognosis and timing separate so one success does not hide the other mistake.
The cast may be technically clean but poorly matched to a broad-life, destiny, or unsafe question.
Verification tiers
You know the event, date, and result from the person or record involved.
The result is reported by someone close enough to the matter to be useful, but not direct.
The case is worth keeping as practice, but should not be used as evidence for a rule.
Tier 3 cases are not bad cases. They are simply not proof. Keep them in the library, but do not use them to promote a rule, confidence claim, or timing shortcut.
Trap
Do not keep only successful cases. A library without misses is not a learning tool.
