About this conversation
Every part of a deliberative process has now been offered a technical substitute: recruitment, facilitation, evidence, even the synthesis of what a room concluded. This session brought together four people who build and study those tools, on what they do well, what they quietly do badly, and which parts of the work have to stay human if the output is still to mean anything.
The recording is above, and it is the work: this series publishes the conversation as it happened rather than a write-up of it. What follows is the record of who was in the room and how the session was run.
