The Wipe Session

One zombie concept. One honest verdict.

90 minutes.

Every organization has one:
The concept that’s too invested to kill and too doubtful to fund properly.

It shuffles from meeting to meeting, eating calendar time and morale, because killing it would be an opinion, and an opinion needs an owner.

The Wipe Session fixes that in 90 minutes. We agree the kill criteria first, before anyone discusses the concept. Then we score the concept against them, with an engineer’s live read on whether the thing can actually be built. You leave with a verdict: kill it, fix it, or fund it.

How it works

Step 00

Before the session

You send a one-page concept description. We send back a criteria worksheet.

Step 01

First 15 minutes

Agree on the kill criteria before anyone argues for the concepts. This is the trick, and it’s the method in miniature.

Step 02

45 minutes

Score the concept against the criteria, with engineering realism in the room.

Step 03

Last 30 minutes

The verdict, what would need to be true, and where this goes next.
