Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — ASDAN PEQ L1 'Delivering a Project' (goal set) · UAS community evidence.
1) Which need got the most pins last week?
2) Which need could WE realistically meet?
3) Point to the board — the shortlist lives there.
1) What does 'Choosing well beats choosing fast.' mean in your own words?
2) Today is 'Choose the Need' — weigh it, then commit. What do you think we'll be doing?
3) By the end you should be able to say: 'I can weigh community needs against real criteria.' What will that take today?
1) Real, doable, lasting — which test kills the most ideas, and why is that healthy?
2) Argue the case for the need you'd vote AGAINST — properly, best version.
3) Name the single piece of new evidence that would flip your vote.
Key Question: What are we building today — and where does the evidence go?

2) I can argue for a choice using its evidence — true for you today? Say how.
3) I can commit to the group decision and say my part in it — true for you today? Say how.
1) What does 'Choosing well beats choosing fast.' mean now the lesson’s done?

3) Where does today’s evidence bank?
1) Our chosen need in one sentence a stranger would understand — write it.
2) Which test would our chosen need fail FIRST if things go wrong, and what protects it?

One statement per candidate per session. File it with the photo, not instead of it.
Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.
| Space | The Green-Light Board is real-stakes but safe — nothing goes up without your say-so, 'pass' is allowed, and outvoted voices stay respected. |
| Voice | Say your choice and the test it passed. Reasons before votes. |
| Audience | The outvoted are heard here too — the board records the reasons, not just the winner. |
| Influence | The need chosen on this board is the project. There is no second vote. |
Closing the loop: this one ends on paper — your own hand, or your words scribed by an adult. Saying it aloud starts the loop; writing it is what closes it. Pass is always allowed.
