How to read the wheel

Each colored wedge is one Degree — a distinct pillar of an Operator's life. Inside each wedge, three concentric rings represent the three Items in that degree, in board order (inside → out). A ring fills the moment you serve its item. A wedge is fully saturated when all three items are lit.

There is no required order. Serve what you're ready for. The patchwork will tell the story of how you actually prepared.
