All of Throughline

Run

Run the plan.

The day you built, live in the room. Throughline holds the clock, the capture and the structure, so the person at the front is free to read the room instead of running it.

Hear the whole table.

Every phone answers the question privately first. While people write, the wall is one dot per person filling as answers land, so nobody is talked over and nobody anchors the room.

Where are we actually losing the growth number?

Where is the profit pressure actually coming from?

Three of our top five clients have flat or shrinking scopes and nobody owns growing them.

We win pitches on senior people, then staff them off the account by month three.

We have not raised rates in two years while our costs went up eleven percent.

Nobody can name who is accountable for the growth number.

Retainer clients call us for execution, not for thinking. That is a positioning problem.

We say no to nothing, so the team sits at 94% utilisation and cannot pitch.

While the room writes, the wall is one dot per person, filling as answers land. 12 of 12 written.

Write, then discuss

The quiet person's answer is captured whether or not they ever say it out loud.

Unattributed on purpose

The names exist in the data. Showing them turns a shared list into a scoreboard.

More than one round

Run the write step again, which is what 1-2-4-All and paired rounds actually need.

Drive it from your own device.

The wall used to be one screen doing two jobs, with half of it operator chrome projected in front of eight executives. Every control now sits on the facilitator's console, and nothing on the wall is clickable.

Read the market pressures

Rate each pressure and say why. Then name where the profit is actually going.

Done when each pressure is rated with a reason.

What we’re deciding
Whether 2026 growth comes from wholesale or from direct to consumer.
The crux: the margin you give up against the shelf you gain.
The day 1h 40m in · planned 6h
Done when: Each pressure is rated with a reason, and the room names the biggest one. You are 6 min over.
The decision the room is about to make… Can everyone live with this?

Never a red number. Colour as alarm manufactures the tension a facilitator is defusing.

No control at the front

Nobody is standing at a projected screen, so a control up there is a control with no hand near it.

The work, not the clock

A nudge names what finishing requires, and always pairs it with what the choice would cost.

Present, without screen sharing

The remote half sees the same document, clock and position in the day, not somebody's desktop.

Land the decision.

An anonymous can-you-live-with-this before anything locks. Counts, never names, so the one no gets heard while it is still a question rather than after it has turned into silence.

No nudge ever interrupts a live-with-it check.

The poll is the ranking

Sorting the tally by count is the ranked list, so nobody has to drag anything into an order.

The tail stays unranked

Options on zero or one vote are effectively tied, and the wall will not invent a sequence in them.

Answers are never averaged

Eight answers clustered means the room agrees. Eight scattered means it does not, and has been talking as though it does.

Five verbs, and no drag.

The room's entire interaction vocabulary. Dragging exists only in the Studio and the Console, on the facilitator's own device, because nobody is standing at the screen.

The room ends with the decisions in it.

Nobody had to be the scribe, so the whole room stayed in the conversation. What was chosen, who owns it and how you will know are already captured by the time people stand up.
