The quality of an answer depends as much on the question as on the memory available. A few simple habits help you get precise, directly actionable answers, in each of the three modes.

Good habits

• Pick the right mode first — this is the setting with the most impact. Client mode for one person, Practice mode for a cross-cutting question, Pilot mode for a count. A good question in the wrong mode gives an off-target answer.
• Be specific — "What goals did Sophie set over the last three sessions?" gives a much better answer than "Tell me about Sophie".
• One question at a time — break complex requests into successive questions rather than a single catch-all query.
• Scope your request — a period, a theme or a specific client helps Memo focus ("over the past 6 months", "on self-confidence").
• Build on your good questions — as soon as a phrasing works well, save it in My starters (below the input field) to re-run it in one click next time, in the same mode.

Examples by mode

Client mode — focused on one person, sources pointing to their sessions:

• "Where does Sophie stand on her relationship to authority?"
• "What has changed over the past 6 months?"
• "Prepare a progress checkpoint for me before the next session."

Practice mode — cross-cutting, for patterns and recurrences:

• "What recurring blockers do my clients in career transition share?"
• "What patterns recur among clients who drop off early?"

Pilot mode — volumes and counters, numeric answers:

• "How many sessions do I have this week?"
• "How many clients haven't had a session in 2 months?"
• "What's my average weekly session load?"
