Rendered from the app's own data — what the phones serve, not a transcription
that can drift from it. One card per table, each carrying its own QR
(/tables/N), in the order a table meets it.
Every figure has to earn its place: if no option ranks differently because of
it, it is noise — slide 5's own test, turned on ourselves.

From Presence to Performance · Part Two
One regional headquarters. Five floors, and a lease break on one of them in nine months. Ten tables are settling different parts of the same decision.
Is presence creating value, or only compliance?

How to run it, and what the room never sees
Two questions, one trip. The table ranks its lane's options, writes one sentence,
then answers the follow-on the deck puts on slide 7 — a conditional: its first move is
taken, and something it did not settle is still open. Both rankings and both sentences
go in one submission, and then it watches the screen. There is no second visit to come
back for; the deck runs slide 7 as one, and this does not. If a phone is lost or locked, the server
knows how far that table got: typing the number again lands it back on the form, and nothing
already answered has to be re-entered. /tables is the same path for the operator, and
shows which tables are still missing.
Nobody is ever asked which lane they are. The table types its number and the server
names the lane. There is no chair, no assigned lens and no shared question across the ten
— the lanes ask five different things in five different answer spaces, so nothing the
room produces compares across all ten except where each pairing put its own
options. That is the order beat's count, and it is the only cross-lane reading in game 1.
What was cut, so it does not come back. A 50-word brief above each question restating
the figures printed below it; a deliverable line restating the two field prompts; a fifth
figure per lane that no option turned on; an authored pool of arguments to tick. The deck
replaces the last of those with "be ready to say why your first beats your second",
which is spoken at the table and not captured — and an ordering of four carries more
than a count of ticked arguments ever did.
