Grounding & Alignment

Purpose

To translate understanding into shared direction.

This process anchors teams in intent, scope, and feasibility before significant technical effort is applied.

What Happens

Teams:

• Refine and stress-test problem statements
• Surface assumptions and constraints
• Align internally on roles, priorities, and decision-making

The goal is directional coherence, not polish.

Implementation Approach

• Weekly team check-ins to validate direction and surface blockers
• Facilitated workshops (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to deepen alignment
• Ongoing Q&A sessions to prevent drift

Outcomes

Teams demonstrate:

• A stable, defensible problem framing
• Clear articulation of intended impact
• Readiness to build with purpose

This process is evidenced through check-in notes, workshop recordings, and alignment artifacts.
