Cluster and Select

LESSON 5 OF 8 · TABLES 3–4: COUNTING VOTES, ENSURING AUTONOMY; HELD SEATS

Clusters help people read the wall and vote across themes. Five stickers each, in silence. Then the two findings bite: the loudest idea wins, and the true cause got no votes.

After voting, “Customs forms are filled by the wrong desk” has no stickers. A dispatcher says the customs office’s own returns prove it. What happens?

Nothing — the room voted, and it lost.The dispatcher nominates it with the source; if two people agree the source is on the topic, it takes a held seat and is structured with the rest.You add it to the shortlist yourself — you can see it matters.
