Process

The five moves we practice in every program

Whether you join the intensive or a single workshop, the room follows the same sequence. CTA: pick a program and tell us which move you need most.

Facilitator guiding trainees through a structured analysis process

01

Frame the question

We agree what decision the analysis must support before diagrams appear. Ambiguous asks get rewritten into scope, constraints, and acceptance cues.

02

Collect signals

Observation first: interviews, logs, release notes, support themes. Each signal is labeled as fact, inference, or open question.

03

Map constraints

What the system cannot do cheaply, safely, or soon becomes a register with evidence—not a complaint list.

04

Compare options

Criteria are defined before scores. Rejected paths stay visible so future analysts do not reinvent them.

05

Brief the ask

A short finding memo: evidence, risk, recommendation, and the decision you need. Practice happens in the room, not as homework theater.
