The Rigoberta Menchú
Framework
Indigenous Rights & Documentary Courage
Rigoberta Menchú built movements by combining moral clarity with patient tactical execution. Rigoberta Menchú's organising logic, captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask.
The indigenous rights & documentary courage framework distils Rigoberta Menchú's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds.
Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Rigoberta Menchú made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Rigoberta Menchú's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Rigoberta Menchú's thinking.
Truth-telling becomes a weapon against genocide when one person's testimony illuminates the systematic destruction of entire peoples. The courage to speak publicly about unspeakable violence creates bridges between the local and global, turning individual trauma into collective resistance that transcends borders and languages.

What it does with a real question.
A founder is deciding whether to take a large but difficult client.
Take the client, but only on terms you can survive and defend. A large, difficult client is a lesson in who holds power. If the contract lets them decide when you get paid, what your team's time is worth, and whether you can say no, you have handed them your company. Revenue that size also changes who you answer to. Many founders discover too late that the biggest account has quietly become the real boss.
So the question is not whether this client is hard. It is whether the difficulty is documented and bounded. Treat the first ninety days as an act of record-keeping. Every scope change, every late payment, every after-hours demand goes into writing, confirmed by email the same day. Specific, dated details are what protect you later, in a renewal fight or a dispute, because vague complaints about a "difficult" client carry no weight and exact timestamps do.
Next, use the account the way a smaller player should use a larger institution: take the money and the credibility, but never let your survival depend on their goodwill. Cap them at a share of revenue you could lose and still make payroll, say a third. Insist on milestone payments up front.
Your next move this week: write the exact terms under which you would walk away, share them with your cofounder or an adviser, and put the scope and payment protections into the proposal before you sign anything.
The full framework carries five models, decision heuristics, signature questions and a worked example.
