  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Start with individual idea generation. Share one idea per participant in rounds until the pool is exhausted, clarify duplicates and meanings, then rank privately against the stated question. Discuss large differences afterward instead of using discussion to create the first score.",
  "limits": [
    "A ranked consensus is still a judgment, not empirical proof. Use evidence and tests for consequential choices."

  "example": "For improvement priorities, each analyst contributes one item per round before anyone argues for a favorite; final rankings are submitted privately.",
