Session goal
By end-of-session:
1. **Every group has been hot-seated** on the work the self-paced rubrics couldn't judge — taste, framing, persona fit, demo flow
2. **Blockers between now and showcase are surfaced + unstuck** — cohort first, PG second
3. **Every group leaves with a 24-hour fix list** — what they sharpen Thu evening before Fri showcase
4. **Showcase logistics are committed** — what to bring, what time to arrive, the pre-arrival dry-run

Bridge from self-paced · what tonight does
7 itemsCold open. The work happened in the self-paced track. Tonight is the judgment layer.
s8-B1-2 statement Mechanics async · judgment here
Three modules. Three artifacts. Three rubrics scored. What the rubrics couldn't ask: is this the right problem? did this land for your perso
s8-B1-3 activation Drop your rubric-couldn't-answer question
One sentence in chat · the question you couldn't self-diagnose.
Group walks · M1 + M2 + M3 highlights · cohort hot-seat
15 itemsThe headline block. Three groups × (8-min compressed walk + 4-min hot-seat) = 36 min. Walks compressed because mechanics are already done — focus on highlights + unresolved questions.
s8-B2-1 pb-section Three groups · highlights only
s8-B2-2 list The 8-min walk shape
Compressed because the work is done. Focus on what's still open.
- Open — PRD in one line · why this matters at BW
- M1 highlight — show the single most surprising finding from your chain output
- M2 highlight — one screen + the critique finding that changed your design
- M3 highlight — your wired screen reading live · one demo of source-edit propagation
- … 1 more
s8-B2-3 list Cohort hot-seat — 4 min · the judgment layer
PG names the question first. Cohort tries first. PG steers.
- The taste test — would your persona actually use this? At what trust level?
- The framing test — is this the BW problem worth solving, or the easier one?
- The demo test — what's the moment in your walk that loses leadership's attention?
s8-B2-4 activation Group A · highlights walk
Open · M1 highlight · M2 highlight · M3 highlight · your question.
s8-B2-5 activation Group B · highlights walk
Same shape · same hot-seat lenses.
s8-B2-6 activation Group C · highlights walk
Same shape · same hot-seat lenses.
Unblock Q&A · what's still broken before showcase
7 itemsOpen Q&A, 15 min. The clinic's last chance to unstick anything in the 24 hr before showcase.
s8-B3-1 pb-section What's broken between you and 14:00 tomorrow?
s8-B3-2 list How unblock Q&A works
Surface broken things. The room tries first.
- Format — one blocker per ask · describe in 45 sec · room responds in 60 sec
- What counts — anything that'll slow you between now and 14:00 tomorrow
- What the room does — first response from cohort · PG seeds if room is silent
- What gets logged — unresolved blockers go to coaching chat · don't carry blockers silently into the showcase
s8-B3-3 activation Open mic · what's broken between you and 14:00 tomorrow?
Raise hand · one blocker each · cohort responds first.
Showcase-day handoff · close
7 items4 min. What to bring tomorrow, the pre-arrival dry-run, the pb-thankyou.
s8-B4-1 list Tomorrow · 14:00 IST · the showcase
Arrive 30 min early · pre-arrival lightning dry-run · leadership at 14:00 sharp.
- 13:30 IST — arrive · laptop set up · data source live · backup screenshots PDF on desktop
- 13:30–13:55 — pre-arrival lightning dry-run · 2 min per group · open + close only · PG sharpens bookends
- 14:00 — leadership arrives · Group A · Group B · Group C · Q&A · credentials
- Bring — PRD pinned · prototype + data source open · backup PDF · the practitioner energy

After this session
- **24-hour fix list** committed per group · in your S07 gdoc tab
- **Coaching chat** open for any unresolved blockers · PG monitors until ~22:00 IST tonight
- **Backup screenshot PDF** generated tonight · saved to desktop for showcase fallback
- **Pre-arrival 13:30 IST** non-negotiable · pre-arrival lightning dry-run happens with or without absent members
- **Failure-mode recovery (trainer-side):**
- **A group's walk reveals an M3 wire that doesn't work** in the highlight demo → route to coaching chat tonight · don't burn the block trying to debug · group brings the backup PDF tomorrow
- **Hot-seat goes soft on a group** → PG asks the sharpest question from B1 chat themselves · names the cohort member who should've asked it
- **Unblock Q&A surfaces too many blockers** to address in 15 min → top 3 by showcase-impact, rest to coaching chat · don't try to solve everything
- **A taste/framing critique lands hard** on a group → bias toward action: *"what's your 24-hour fix?"* Don't let groups spiral

## Open items (for polish pass / PG review)
1. **S08 reflection URL** — `[?CONFIRM]` placeholder pattern from prior dockets. Cohort home banner.
2. **Walk shape internal split** (30/90/120/120/60 sec) — trainer note carries it; cohort-facing slide stays timing-free per §31.
3. **Hot-seat lenses** (taste · framing · demo) — taste lenses are the right judgment layer for post-mechanics review; substitute if cohort drops different patterns in B1 chat.
4. **Pre-arrival dry-run** — coordinated with S10 docket's new pre-arrival block (B0 in S10). Same content; the prep happens at S10 site, but S08 must name it so groups arrive ready.
5. **Activation count** — 5 activations across B1–B4 (question drop · 3× walks · unblock Q&A) · 3 surfaces (chat · screen-share · audio). Passes §17 floor for 60 min.
6. **§31 + §32 compliance** — verified Lab/programme naming throughout; no cohort-facing timing in slide content (block ranges live in frontmatter agenda).
7. **Coverage check vs. self-paced modules** — B2 walks assume Module 1/2/3 artifacts are complete and rubric-scored. If a group skipped a module, the walk shape pivots to: *"walk the modules you DID complete + the gap you'll fill tonight"* — coaching chat absorbs the gap.
