1.8 Document the Experiment

Session 1 · Tool Lab · Lesson 08

Document the Experiment

Select one experiment. Explain its system logic, identify the shifts in meaning, and frame the next iteration. Avoid aesthetic optimization — push misalignment further.

Concept

  • Documentation is part of the work, not an afterthought.
  • A Process Card holds the experiment's logic, not just its output.
  • The next move matters more than the best result.

Which single experiment carries your strongest conceptual tension?
