Listen — start with the community signal
Ask who is authorised to describe the need, what success would make easier and which detail still needs direct confirmation.
ASSEMBLY FLOOR
The seven-bay assembly
A good project can move forward, loop back or stop. The assembly exists to expose uncertainty before goodwill turns into an unsafe promise.
A project can return to an earlier bay whenever a new fact changes the picture.
The seven bays
Each bay asks five working questions and provides detailed notes inside the Android app.
Define — build a scope that can be handed over
Write one outcome, finite tasks, explicit exclusions and a change-control decision.
Partner — make every handoff visible
Separate the requesting partner, site controller, project lead, specialist authority and receiving owner.
Make Ready — lock conditions before arrival
Use prompts for authority, safeguarding, public movement, inclusion, weather, competence and handover.
Act — run an adaptable work line
Brief in view, open one controlled zone and keep pause authority legible.
Hand Over — return the place and next decision
Walk the full edge, account for temporary controls and name any unfinished condition.
Learn — debrief without scores
Keep one process, change one friction point and carry one question into the next Listen stage.
The evidence lanes
Better preparation keeps unlike information apart.
Partner statement
What the authorised partner has actually asked for, including corrections and boundaries.
Direct observation
What an adult can see or measure without guessing another person's circumstances.
Crew idea
A proposal that remains a proposal until the right owner accepts it.
