Participant workbook
Copy these prompts into a working document or print this page. Repeat records as needed; preserve the link from each conclusion to its evidence. These are working templates, not online response fields.

| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Process and recipient; whose need does this serve? | |

Use in lesson 03. Repeat one record for each material claim.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Claim ID and one precise statement | |
| Type: observation, obligation, assumption, preference or derived conclusion | |
| Source, date, applicable population and limits | |
| Confidence and reason; what counterexample would matter? | |
| If false, which design or decision changes? | |
| Investigation or test, evidence owner and next review |
W3 Functions and dependencies
Use in lesson 02. Avoid department and software names on the first pass.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Outcome this function serves | |
| Function stated as a verb and object; why is it necessary? | |
| Input and its source; required quality or authority | |
| Decision or transformation and resulting output | |
| Logical dependencies and evidence for the required sequence | |

W4 Constraint review
Use in lesson 04. Preserve legitimate authority while examining the mechanism.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Stated constraint and where it came from | |
| Scope, current applicability and source owner | |
| Underlying outcome or control purpose | |
| Classification: fixed for this exercise, changeable by named owner, unverified, or team choice | |
| Alternative mechanism and evidence of equivalent protection | |
| Who can authorize change; what remains conditional? |
W5 Principle and reasoning chain
Use in lesson 05. Repeat for each principle.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Principle ID, outcome and boundary | |
| Supported premise one and evidence reference | |
| Supported premise two and evidence reference | |
| Because these premises apply, any acceptable design must… | |
| Reasoning from premises to condition; what does not follow? | |
| Counterexample, exception, uncertain premise and resulting test |
W6 Alternative design
Use in lesson 06. Create at least three distinct mechanisms.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Option name and essential mechanism | |
| Functions and principles satisfied; reference W3 and W5 IDs | |
| Who acts, when, with what evidence and authority? | |
| Standard path and information handoffs | |
| Incomplete, disputed and urgent paths; recovery ownership | |
| New assumptions, dependencies and likely tradeoffs |
W7 Option comparison
Use in lesson 07. Screen mandatory conditions before weighting preferences.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Mandatory conditions for all options and source references | |
| For each option: pass, fail or unproven with evidence | |
| Up to five comparison criteria, scale anchors and agreed weights | |
| Option scores with reasons and confidence, not numbers alone | |
| Sensitivity check; which weight or premise changes the choice? | |
| Preferred next investigation, rejected alternatives and reconsideration conditions |
W8 Experiment and learning plan
Use in lesson 08. Write before the test.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Design assumption and falsifiable hypothesis | |
| Population, eligibility, exclusions and sample rationale | |
| Comparison or replay method; possible confounders | |
| Measures, definitions, data sources and missing-data handling | |
| Quality and effort guardrails; stop conditions and recovery action | |
| Permissions, test owner, review point and decision owner | |
| Predefined rules for stop, revise or expand; limits on generalization | |
| After the test: observations, interpretation, changed belief and next action |
W9 Facilitation observation
Use in lesson 09. Record behavior rather than a personality judgment.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Claim or conventional-thinking signal heard | |
| Facilitator’s exact intervention | |
| Did it ask for an outcome, premise, source, inference or test? | |
| Who contributed and whose relevant perspective was missing? | |
| Did the facilitator leave solution ownership with the SMEs? | |
| What changed in the group’s reasoning and what intervention would you try next? |
W10 Decision and scope change record
Use in lesson 10 and the capstone. Transfer commitments to the existing task system.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Decision required and accountable owner | |
| Current boundary and proposed change | |
| Why the issue matters; impact of inclusion, exclusion or delay | |
| Evidence, dependencies, options and tradeoffs | |
| Decision, rationale, conditions and unresolved disagreements | |
| Action owner, next review and link to the existing task record |
W11 Assessment and personal transfer
Use in lesson 14 and coaching.
| Prompt | Your response |
|---|---|
| Knowledge-check score and concepts to revisit | |
| Capstone dimension scores and specific supporting evidence | |
| Required revisions and reviewer feedback | |
| I previously assumed…; the challenge or evidence was… | |
| I now propose…; I still need to learn… | |
| Real process for transfer, process owner and first evidence review |
