What it is, and how to work through it
This is a cheat sheet, not a workbook: ten questions on one canvas, answered in any order, with a start-here cursor as your only guide. Answer each question directly on the board. Two side panels back you up when an answer needs more than an opinion: the brand values bank for question five, and your own analytics or design links wherever a question needs proof instead of a guess.
