Working outcomeA consent-aware interview plan and durable record package.
Consent is a process
Explain the project, audience, recording method, sensitive topics, editing, storage, publication, and withdrawal options before recording.
Ask for scenes and systems
Invite the subject to describe rooms, teachers, objects, schedules, labor, relationships, rules traditions, and how practices changed.
- Separate memory from documented date.
- Ask how names should appear.
- Offer transcript or quote review.
Return stewardship
Provide the subject or family with files and agreed metadata. An archive should not be the only party capable of accessing the story.
Keep the boundary visible
General history belongs to SagesMahjong; beginner instruction belongs to NewToMahjong; generic gifts do not belong here.
