Last session you practiced Layers of Effect on a decision. What did you notice when you tried to connect your values to a specific decision? Was it easier or harder than expected?

In traditional structures, only managers can put items on meeting agendas. Only certain people can say "we need to decide this." Everyone else has to hope someone with authority notices the problem.

## Closing - 2 min
### ==Solo reflection - 10 min==
You've practiced frameworks and started noticing patterns – who speaks, who defers, whose defaults became the group's. These patterns *are* your governance, whether you've named it or not.
==Capture your own thoughts from today privately. One sentence per question is fine. You'll bring these notes to your Peer Support session this week and decide what to share.==
Next session, we'll look at formal structures: How do you design governance that supports the decision-making practices you want and addresses the dynamics you noticed?
==\[Back in the main huddle, mics off.\]==
==Processing today's session:==
* ==What did you notice about yourself during the facilitation rotation? Or what was harder than expected?==
* ==Did any of the Informal Hierarchy Check-In questions hit close to home?==
==Prep for your studio support meeting:==
* ==Pick one decision-making framework you want to try with your PS this week. Write down why that one.==

## Homework - 3 min
### ==Closing - 3 min==
==You've just done your Studio Support Meeting prep! Wahoo! Bring your solo notes to your PS session this week. You'll practice your chosen framework on a real decision and work through the full Informal Hierarchy Check-In together.==
1. **Practice one decision-making framework on a real decision** – Try consent or consensus on something that actually matters, even if it's small.
2. **Map your current role distribution** – Where did each role assignment come from: Explicit decision, or implicit default?
3. **Complete the Informal Hierarchy Check-In as a studio** – Work through the 5 questions together. Bring your observations to Session 5.
4. **Notice this week: where do decisions happen?** – In meetings? DMs? Who's present?
==These patterns (who speaks, who defers, whose defaults became the group's) *are* your governance. Next session, we'll look at formal structures that support the decision-making practices you want and address the dynamics you noticed.==
*==After this meeting, post your framework and decision picks in your studio channel. Your studio will need to choose one of each before your PS meeting.==*

### ==Weekly exercises==
1. ==Studio support meeting with your Peer Supports - you'll practice a decision-making framework on a real decision and work through the Informal Hierarchy Check-In together. Bring your solo reflection notes.==
2. ==Map your current role distribution - for each role/responsibility in the studio, where did it come from: explicit decision, or implicit default? This can be async. It feeds directly into Session 5.==
3. ==This week, pay attention to where decisions happen: In meetings? DMs? Who's present?==
