What Most Designers Do


Stay quiet when things are unclear.
Wait for someone to provide structure.

What Experienced Designers Do


Create clarity from partial information.
Write an inventory:

  • What we know

  • What we assume

  • What we don’t know

Then share it and ask for gaps.

Why It Matters


Ambiguity grows in silence.
Structured uncertainty moves projects forward.

Today’s Action
For your current project, create a one-page inventory:

  • Facts

  • Assumptions

  • Open questions

Share it with the team and ask: “What am I missing?”
