Jan 28, 2026 Debrief Summary
Key adaptations for research context:
- Changed “Build” to “Research Design” phase
- Researchers balked at “user” terminology
- Reduced slide count (first version overwhelmed people)
- No one used AI boosters - too business-focused for researchers
What worked: Three-phase structure, explicit timing, script, paper/pens over laptops
Projects emerged: Youth governance, peace education, AI as mediator’s coach, human rights by design, civic policy co-pilot, civic data commons
