ask two questionsCASEBOOK / 01
SHORT PRACTICE. NO SIGN-UP.
Start solo: read your half of the brief and ask two questions. A free case takes about 3 minutes. Then try Replay, where one fact changes, or send a partner their own half.
Fictional practice · About two minutes · No timer
Ollie is one of the last human hires. His AI assistant Otto has drafted forty screens for Friday’s investor demo. If the team presents the wrong work, Ollie’s chance to show his value shrinks. The draft looks finished. Ask the two questions, then choose what happens next.
Otto’s draft: “Forty screens ready. Sending the full package will show how much we can deliver.”

SOLO · ASK TO REVEAL
Read your half. Ask up to two questions. You only learn the answers to what you ask. Then choose a plan and check it. Switch the counterpart to an AI tool to replay the same facts.

REPLAY
TWO HALVES
In this two-person version of Fixed Deadline, one person holds the outcome and the other holds the capacity. Neither can make a workable plan alone.
A manual partner exercise, in person, over your own call, or in writing. Send each person their own role link; this page does not connect devices or send messages.
ONE PRACTICE. THREE USES.
Separate what is known from what you are guessing. A confident tone cannot create extra hours.
Hold the case steady, then reveal one fact. Compare what your decision would require.
Take one question into a real, low-stakes conversation. Come back with what changed.
The planned membership adds two new member-only cases a month, short weekly prompts and a monthly written partner exchange. This prototype has no checkout or community signup yet.
