# Quality House — empty (training)

Same 14 WHATs × 14 HOWs chassis as [`quality-house.md`](quality-house.md),
with the **relations**, **roof correlations**, and basement Σ / Rel %
**deliberately blank**. Fill them in yourself, then compare against the
populated house to check your reading.

Kept (definitional inputs from `qfd.md`):

- WHATs + importance weights (§1)
- HOWs + v0.1 targets (§2)

Blank (training surface):

- Relation matrix (W × H)
- Roof correlations (H × H)
- Basement Σ abs and Rel %
- Perception zone (hidden, not part of the relation/correlation exercise)

## How to fill it in

1. **Relations (centre).** For each WHAT × HOW cell where the HOW
   contributes to the WHAT, drop a marker:
   ```
   \node[qfdrel/S] at ({COL - 0.5}, {-ROW + 0.5}) {};   % strong = 9
   \node[qfdrel/M] at ({COL - 0.5}, {-ROW + 0.5}) {};   % medium = 3
   \node[qfdrel/W] at ({COL - 0.5}, {-ROW + 0.5}) {};   % weak   = 1
   ```
   Leave a cell empty for "no relation."
2. **Roof.** For each pair of HOWs that reinforce or conflict:
   ```
   \node[font=\scriptsize] at (C-i-j) {$+\!+$};   % i < j
   ```
   Symbols: `$+\!+$` very positive, `$+$` positive, `$-$` negative,
   `$-\!-$` very negative. Leave a slot empty for "independent."
3. **Basement Σ abs.** Per HOW column, sum `(importance × cell strength)`
   over all WHATs that touch it (strength 9 / 3 / 1 / 0).
4. **Basement Rel %.** Each Σ ÷ total Σ × 100, rounded to integer percent
   (should sum to ~100 across HOWs).

Once filled, diff your numbers against [`quality-house.md`](quality-house.md)
basement and roof to see where your reading agrees or differs — divergences
are usually the most interesting part.

## Gotchas

- `<` and `>` render as `¡` `¿` in node text — use `$<$`, `$>$`, `$-$`.
- Row 1 is the top WHAT; column 1 is the leftmost HOW.
- The perception zone is hidden here on purpose. To bring it back, delete
  the two `\qfdshow...false` lines near the top of the document.
