integrityA new one every Monday. Tap your pick.
Ship it Thursday, fix it Friday
The launch demo has a bug that miscounts a number customers will see. Fixing it properly costs a week. Nobody will notice for weeks, probably.
share this week's cardThe Lemonade Stand
A little company. Real disagreements.
Shared cash, secret decisions, and eight weeks together.
What it's actually watching
Repair & tone
What happens after the argument, and whether it actually ends.
How you fight
Whether your instincts under disagreement collide or cancel out.
Under pressure
Who needs to talk right now, and who needs to disappear first.
Where the power sits
How many kinds of authority quietly stack onto one person.
Fairness & the split
Whether you agree on what a fair share even means.
Blind spots
The gap between how you see yourself and how the party sees you.
Trust in practice
Not what you say about trust — what you did with the coins.
how to play
Six steps, ten minutes-ish
Two games, same party code. Pick one, then open a step to see what it looks like.

the research
Built on Gottman's repair and contempt findings, the Thomas-Kilmann conflict modes, attachment research on pursue-withdraw, Wasserman's Founder's Dilemmas, faultline research on power concentration, and the standard behavioural trust and public-goods games. Every card tells you which one it came from.
Not a diagnosis, not therapy, and definitely not a hiring decision. It's a conversation starter with sources.
