What is audience mapping for knowledge outputs?

Audience mapping for knowledge outputs is a concept in personal epistemology: Great output that nobody sees creates no value — think about distribution from the start.

Example: You design a distribution plan before writing a quarterly analysis, identifying three channels and two audiences, so the work reaches the right people the day it ships.

This concept is part of Phase 44 (Output Systems) in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for output systems.
