Week 1 Case Review: Orientation

The first case review — naming a real situation in the model's terms before the model has given you any terms to name it with

22 February 2027

Before the session#

Bring the two-sentence situation and the observable-success statement above. Composites are fine and, for anything involving a third party’s private details, preferred — the model doesn’t need a true story, it needs a plausible one.

In the session#

The room sorts submitted situations into “has a position” and “does not have a position yet,” then works through why a few of the second group are stuck. Most of the stuck cases turn out to be feelings statements wearing a situation’s clothes.

Afterwards#

Each person leaves with a one-paragraph statement of their case rewritten in two-party terms. That paragraph is the thing every later case review builds on, so keep it.
