The whiteboard holds the core idea and intended audience, a mindmap that breaks the world into parts, a grid of decisions, references, and no-gos for each element, a frame that pins the tone down to three words, and a map of the order to settle things in. The task board runs from ideas to locked in four columns, and starts with four parent tasks - concept, world, tone, and guardrails - each with its own subtasks.
