Five beats

01

Desk listening

We join live standups and async threads with NDAs in place, capturing verbs and blockers verbatim.

02

Artifact sketch

Paper prototypes precede any Miro board so constraints stay tangible.

03

Pilot cohort

Twelve to eighteen participants stress-test rails with facilitators in-room or hybrid.

04

Telemetry handshake

05

Archive + coaching

PDF seals the narrative; office hours continue for six weeks post-lab.
