A starting point for discussion
The idea
Groups typically had five people and discussed three questions in sequence over about an hour.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
This describes the typical group size, number of questions, and duration, rather than establishing that the format is inclusive or scalable.
Designing discussions where people can take part and be heard
Group size and session duration are practical design details relevant to arranging participation and discussion.
Faster discussion and positive ratings do not prove a tool is ready for public decisions
The reported typical setup helps delimit the scale and format actually used in the study.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
Participants met in small groups, usually of five, and worked through three questions in about an hour.
Why it matters
The format limits how directly the findings apply to longer, larger, or differently organized discussions.
