Answer · word for word

Two deliverables.

two-views.html — a dual-perspective field guide to the behavioral economics of holding on. Nine named patterns (opportunity-cost neglect, present bias, loss aversion, endowment effect, sunk-cost, hedonic adaptation, narrow bracketing, status quo bias, pain of paying), each shown twice: an Inside panel (the felt, first-person experience) and an Outside panel (what a loved one sees and what actually helps). A Both / Inside / Outside toggle lets a reader focus one lens — useful if a family member wants to read only the inside view to build empathy. Design is deliberately distinct from the first page: warm/cool duotone where the colors carry meaning (warm = inside, cool = outside), Bricolage Grotesque + Newsreader, with monospace term labels framing it as a catalogued field guide.

hoarding-handoff-summary.md — a portable summary of the full thread for a later session: clinical model, behavioral economics, the bias taxonomy, the Maslow reframe, verified resources, both deliverables, and (section 7) the output conventions you expect, so a future session continues in the same register and footer format.

Design and content notes:

  • The "what helps" lines in the Outside panels intentionally double as guidance for loved ones, and reinforce the non-coercion theme (named explicitly in the closing note): clearing someone's things for them or behind their back backfires.
  • The handoff file flags which claims are interpretive synthesis (the Maslow frame; the unifying structure of the biases) versus established, and lists the contested items (endowment-effect magnitude, ego depletion, compulsive buying as a formal diagnosis), so nothing is overstated downstream.
  • The toggle and reveals are in-memory only; a system-font fallback covers offline use, though full styling needs a connection for the web fonts.

The two pages are complementary — room-to-breathe.html leads with the person who hoards and the Maslow frame; two-views.html leads with the decision mechanics and the empathy gap. If you want them linked (a small nav between the two) or merged into one multi-page site, that's a quick follow-up.
