-We go over common pitfalls - vague goals like "we all just want to make good games" and assuming shared politics means shared work values. We do four rounds of The Talk, asking detailed individual questions about financial reality, time/availability, skills/contributions, and decision-making styles. Studios practice this in their channels with the Peer Support present.

They started these conversations but didn't finish them (this is the intention). During this Studio Support Meeting, help them go deeper: create space to continue conversations that got cut short or stayed shallow, draw out what went unsaid, help the team notice patterns.
