Asks in their own channel
A stakeholder answers from WhatsApp, Telegram or Slack on their own schedule. They never have to open a tool, sit through a meeting, or learn a system to answer one question.
INVOLVE
The right people, asked for the right thing.
Stakeholders are identified, assigned an owner and asked in whichever channel they already use, asynchronously. Each person is asked only about what they own, answers once, and never has to repeat information another participant has already provided.

of project discovery.

Stakeholder matrix
Every party the project depends on, with their role, their involvement status and what they are accountable for.
Explicit ownership
Each unresolved item is assigned to a named owner, or explicitly recorded as having no owner yet.
No repetition
Information already captured elsewhere in the project is never asked for a second time, whoever is asked and wherever they answer.
HOW IT WORKS
How this stage works.
01
Participants identified
The project shows who is involved, who is missing and who has gone quiet.
02
Owners assigned
Every open item gets a name against it.
03
Asked where they are
Each stakeholder gets one question, in the channel they already use.
