Raise the Resolution of Feedback
Have I made the work concrete enough for someone to give me the kind of feedback I want?
Situation
Feedback remains vague or high-level.
The idea
The quality of feedback is partly constrained by the resolution of the artifact being reviewed. Rough work often permits only structural feedback; clearer work exposes deeper issues.
Useful when
Draftsdesignsresearch reviewsmentoringasking experts for help
Watch for
Don't polish prematurely when what you actually need is early directional feedback. Match artifact maturity to the feedback sought.
