First, get on the same page.
Choose who facilitates this session; swap next time. Check energy, say what each of you wants from the block, and agree the output. Neither person’s skills give them the final say.
Questions for both of us

- For each candidate: who needs it, can we reach them today, what could we make by Saturday, and do we both want to?
- Ask customers about the last time they faced the problem.
Make it happen
15 min mutual choice; 20 min one-sentence offer + rough price; 40 min send five discovery requests or hold conversations.
Use the step buttons to move through the timeboxes. Pause when you need to; a timer helps us focus, not rush each other.

Both say yes; the customer and first deliverable are specific.

For a disagreement: two minutes each to explain, then choose the smallest reversible test together. For a bigger pause: agree when to return.
