Design has shifted from control to stewardship (Q&A)

Right, there aren’t tons of examples of this in the wild. We’re leaning into it.

So the review concept is like Working Backwards, a problem-solving strategy where you start with the expected final result and reverse the steps, using (like subtracting instead of adding, or dividing instead of multiplying) to find the original starting point or conditions.

It brings me back to the days of using algebra and word problems. Inversion I think is the proper term.

Only this isn’t quite right, because the outcomes are highly variable. So who on the team decides the best outcome? Clearly the user needs should be met, but there’s also a business goal that the executive team wants to see achieved.
