Process

Screening

You might say: test viewing, feedback, review round

Showing a cut to a few people before publishing and noting where they were confused, bored or delighted.

What it does
Finds the problems you can no longer see because you know the material.
Ask
Where did they look away or ask a question?
Trouble
The only reviewer is you.

Pattern

Build, test, learn
