## Solo reflection - 12 min
Capture your own thoughts from today, privately. Journal wherever works for you. One sentence per question is fine. We'll call time at 12 min. You'll bring these notes to your PS session this week and decide what to share.
### From The Talk (5 min)
Think about:
* What came up in The Talk that you didn't fully say?
* What's one question you want to come back to?
### Scale and pace (7 min)
* Where do you see the studio in 3 years? Size, structure, your role in it.
* What's your working assumption about how the studio makes money?
* Is this full-time for you, or alongside other work?
Your PS will come back to these questions at your meeting.

### To Review You've just done your Studio Support Meeting prep! Bring to your meeting this week:
1. Your solo reflection notes from today: tension and unsaid from The Talk, plus scale and pace. (You don't have to share everything.)
2. Openness to continuing The Talk. Your PS will help you go deeper on whichever round brought up the most tension or uncertainty.
Next session, we'll take the values you've identified and turn principles into practices you can actually use when decisions get hard. Next session, we'll take the values you've identified and turn principles into practices you can actually use when decisions get hard.

## Exercises
1. **Continue "The Talk" in your PS session** – Go deeper on whichever round brought up the most tension or uncertainty.
2. **Reflect individually on tension points** – Write down:
* something that surprised you about a teammate's answer
* one place where you felt tension but didn't say anything
* a question you wish you'd asked but didn't
* What's one conversation you now realize you need to have with your team?
* How might you redefine success to fit the needs of your studio?
Bring these to your PS session. You don't have to share them with your full team yet.
3. **Reflect individually on scale and pace individually** – Before your next PS session, take some time to think through where you see your studio in 1/3/5 years. How many people on the team? One game? Multiple? What platforms? What are your goals – sustainability? Growth? Other measures of success?
1. Then ground it in reality: who are your players? (Do you know?) What's your revenue model? (Game sales? Services? Grants? Mix?) Can this sustain you? For how long?
* We're not here to kill dreams. Just like any business, a cooperative needs a viable revenue plan. A studio that is not economically viable isn't sustainable, no matter how good the values are. Because if you don't have that, you don't have anything else.
Bring your notes to your PS session. You'll use these as a starting point for ongoing conversations about shared language and alignment around scale, pace, and what success looks like for your studio.
