A proposal.
Not a promise.
Could temporary signs make the route from the courtyard entrance to the shared room easier to understand?
Fictional project · no test has taken place and no outcome is claimed.
What is proposed
Invite willing adults to review a short route, try a small set of removable panels and discuss where the information helps or confuses. The site host must agree the actual route, placement and removal arrangements first.
roomPanel layout study only
Keep the open question visible.
Where does a first-time visitor hesitate?
At the courtyard turn, a visitor may be able to see two doors but not know which one leads to the shared room. This is a hypothetical situation to investigate, not an observed finding.
Evidence still needed
With permission, ask a willing first-time visitor to describe where they would go. Record their words and the point of hesitation without supplying the answer.
Who would hold it
The route observer records the moment; the facilitator separates the observation from assumptions. The site host confirms which route and destination can be tested.
How it changes the plan
If hesitation happens before the proposed panel location, reconsider that location before making additional signs. If the route is already clear, question whether a panel is needed at all.
Limit to keep with the note
A single visit does not represent every person, route or condition. Ask whose experience is absent before treating the note as a decision.

part of the record.
Before the trial
Record the question, who can authorize the test, what people are being asked to do and how the panels will be removed. Do not treat a volunteer’s interest as consent to every activity.
After each conversation
Keep the participant’s observation separate from the team’s interpretation. Record disagreement and practical needs as well as agreement. Avoid collecting names or images when they are unnecessary.
Before a next version
Explain what changed, what did not and why. Return unresolved questions to the people responsible rather than quietly converting a suggestion into a permanent installation.
