One method. A different path for every person.
ProofYear works backwards from what you want to become capable of doing, then repeatedly reconstructs the next step from evidence.
The canonical cycle is Discover → Learn → Build → Test → Verify → Improve. Discover maps the objective and starting position. Learn fills only the gaps required by the next piece of work. Build makes capability visible. Test exposes it to real constraints. Verify asks whether the evidence supports the claim. Improve uses what survived—and what failed—to decide what happens next. The method stays stable while the path changes.
