Separating these should make the interface feel more like a facilitated investigation than a collection of cards.
Evaluation:
Pending visual review.
Partially confirmed.
Learning:
The workspace feels more coherent when organised into cognitive zones rather than a simple document stack.
However, another distinction emerged that is more important than the zones themselves.
The interface naturally separates into two different modes:
• the active conversation between investigator and facilitator
and
• the shared workspace describing the current understanding.
Unexpected learning:
History feels incorrect when treated as reference information.
History is actually the continuation of the investigator's conversation.
Every response immediately becomes history.
The notebook should therefore grow naturally from the Response area.
The Investigation Status card currently competes with the Current Investigation card.
The current question is the primary focus.
Status is supporting context.
Decision:
Keep the cognitive-zone concept.
Refine the zones around conversational flow instead of card grouping.
Next question:
Can the workspace clearly separate conversation from shared understanding?
### Experiment 04 — Facilitated Workshop Introduction
Hypothesis
Beginning with a facilitator-style introduction will create more confidence than presenting an empty workspace.
Questions
- Does the interface feel more welcoming?
- Does reducing the visual weight of the textarea improve the first experience?
- Does separating "starting" from "investigating" feel natural?
- Does the transition into the investigation workspace feel meaningful?
Status:
Experimental.
No conclusions.
