Week 6 Case Review: Trust test design
Auditing who initiates the small reversible tests in your case, and who only ever responds to one
29 March 2027
Before the session#
List the last three small trust tests in your case (a favour, a disclosure, a small plan) and name who proposed each.
In the session#
Groups tally proposer counts across everyone’s cases and look at the distribution. A case where one party has proposed zero of the last several tests is treated as a finding worth writing down, not an insult to that party’s character.
Afterwards#
Note the proposer split in your running case file — the case study portfolio due in week 9 asks for this pattern across a set of cases, not just one.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- you can list the last three small trust tests in your case and name who proposed each one
- you can state whether the proposing is symmetric or concentrated in one party
