Session operations starter pack

Four sheets cover preparation, the session runsheet, follow-up, and instructions/sources. Set four responsibilities—facilitation, timekeeping, recording, and participant support—and carry the plan and names into the runsheet. Adjust and print before the event; no input is needed during the session.

Language and implementation limits

  • English learning and preparation screens. Source-specific notices and resource-language limits apply.
  • Existing Excel, PDF, downloadable HTML, licence notice, and guide screenshots remain Japanese resources. Their new translation is separate later work, not an added condition for the first English-screen release.
  • Learning inputs are ephemeral. No network request, account, progress storage, analytics, form submission, purchase, reservation, or payment is added here.
  • Existing illustrations are AI-generated images, not records of actual events.
