DESIGN THINKING WORKSHEET
Space Office | Original planning template | 2026-10-27
Guide: https://www.spaceoffice.ai/blog/design-thinking

1. TASK AND LEARNING QUESTION
Person / situation / task / current process:
What happens before and after the interaction:
Specific uncertainty / evidence that could change the decision:
Business constraints / feasibility / viability / owner:
Sources and participation authorized by:

2. EVIDENCE LOG
Record ID | source and date | observation or reported experience | scope
Interpretation (keep separate from the observation):
Alternative explanation / unanswered question:
Missing situations or people / next investigation:
Use minimized authorized records. Label fictional material explicitly.

3. PROBLEM FRAME
Person needs to [task] because [source-backed difficulty].
Supporting records / conflicting evidence:
What this framing assumes / what could disprove it:
Acceptance criteria / constraints / exclusions:

4. DIFFERENT APPROACHES
Concept A / mechanism / desirability / feasibility / viability:
Concept B / mechanism / desirability / feasibility / viability:
Concept C / process change or non-interface alternative:
Important uncertainty in each / reason for choosing the next test:
Do not select a concept only because it is the easiest to draw.

5. PROTOTYPE BOUNDARY
Question the prototype can investigate:
Smallest tangible representation / task and states:
What is simulated / what it cannot establish:
Required facts or access / source owner:
Release is separate from this test; no live transaction is implied.

6. NEUTRAL TEST PLAN
Relevant participant situation / authorized participation:
Task prompt (do not reveal the desired answer):
What will be observed / neutral follow-up questions:
Expected behavior versus actual observation:
What the person said (exact source) versus our interpretation:
Unexpected finding / incomplete observation / assistance given:
Fictional guide prompt: You want a room for your band next Tuesday.
Use these screens to arrange a suitable time. What do you think happens next?

7. DECISION AND NEXT LEARNING
Evidence supports / challenges / leaves unresolved:
Revise problem / explore another option / revise prototype / investigate:
Implementation decision and its separate acceptance checks:
Owner / next task / review date / stop conditions:

8. SPACE OFFICE PACKET
Approved research, current screens, service rules, constraints and task:
Sodium: organize customer evidence and research questions.
Boron: UI/UX concepts, prototype structure and specifications.
Hydrogen: coordinate and review the research-to-design connection.
Human: verify facts, arrange participation, approve implementation.
Missing access or data / human decision / exact approved version:
