- A tap-based timing system signals 30 seconds, one minute, and time to switch sides without interrupting the speaker.
Field notes
The described kit includes a Getting Started card, process guide, judge manual, participant manual, and four discussion-prompt cards. Its timing signals are physical taps on a table: one tap marks 30 seconds remaining, two marks one minute, and three means time is up and sides switch. The facilitator may summarize findings but is instructed not to declare the work good or bad.
