Feedback & Correction Runs
Learn how to fix one result and improve every result after it.
When a run finishes, you can say what you thought of it. That remark does two jobs: it can fix this result now, and it can change every result after it.
How Feedback Works
1. Review the Result
Look at what your Team delivered. What's good? What could be better?
2. Say What Should Be Different
Rate the run, then write down why. A rating on its own only records that somebody looked — the reason is the part the team can act on, so a negative rating cannot be saved without one.
Good Feedback:
"This is a great start, but can you make the tone more playful and add a section about the history of video games?"
Bad Feedback:
"I don't like it. Make it better."
3. Choose What Happens With It
Two things can come out of the same note, and it can be both:
- Fix this result now starts a correction run. The team is given your note and the result it belongs to, and its plan goes to approval like any other run.
- Apply to later runs too turns your note into a rule the team is told before every later run it applies to.
How Far a Rule Reaches
When you keep a note for later, you pick who hears it:
- This process only — every later run of this one process. No other process is told.
- The whole team — every process this team runs.
- These agents — every run those agents take part in, in any team.
Rules are listed under What earlier runs taught this team. Retire the ones that no longer hold: only the newest rules of each reach are given to the team, so an obsolete rule crowds out a useful one.
Tips for Giving Great Feedback
- Be Specific: Tell them exactly what to change (e.g., "change the color to blue," not "change the color").
- One Thing at a Time: Don't ask for too many changes at once. Several small corrections beat one enormous one.
- Say What Should Happen Instead: A complaint with no alternative in it cannot be turned into a rule.
- Provide Examples: If you can, show them an example of what you want.
By giving clear feedback you are not just fixing one result — you are writing down how the work should be done from now on.
