Thread Spotting

Follow one signal in the guest answer: a loaded noun, time gap, contradiction, or image. Ask aloud, then name the phrase that justified your follow-up.

A good rep

You can point to the exact phrase that justified your follow-up. That's the entire standard — one thread, honestly justified, is a full success.
Your follow-up reuses the guest's own word, not your synonym for it. ("You said it 'stopped being fun'" — not "so you experienced burnout?")
The reveal shows what we planted. A thread we didn't plant counts too, if you can name its phrase; catching every signal isn't required.
