The Story Translator
Your character connects a complicated idea to an audience's everyday experience. A good explanation becomes part of making the project usable.

A prompt to try: Ask a willing person what makes a task difficult.

The idea behind Project Team Role
A fictional team has one afternoon to build something useful. Choose where you would enjoy contributing.
This game contrasts The Plan Weaver, The Story Translator, The User Listener, and The Prototype Sprinter. Choose the scene you would enjoy, then compare the result with another route through the story. The scoring guide on this page shows exactly which themes each option supports.
Consistent, not predictive
Your choices add the points shown in the scoring guide above; a repeatable calculation resolves ties. The same answers return the same result. No answer can verify a fact, identify another person, or forecast a real event.
A better conversation starter
Compare your Project Team Role outcomes. Read the other person’s story as well as your own, then each explain one choice you nearly made differently.
