Built for the host

Give each team one decision: agree on a ranking of 15 items. Reaching one answer requires participants to explain priorities, challenge assumptions, and work through disagreement. Protocol15 handles joining, timing, scoring, and the reveal.

    Reveal the comparisonWhen rankings lock, Protocol15 reveals the comparison. Use the differences alongside the team's actual arguments and turning points in the debrief.

Why it works

Easy to run. Built for the debrief.

A ready-made scenario gives the group one decision to make together. Requiring one shared ranking makes priorities, assumptions, influence, and disagreement visible, then gives the facilitator real moments to revisit after the reveal.

01

Easy joining

Participants join from their own device with a code or link. The host handles the session.

02

One shared answer

The team has to explain priorities, challenge assumptions, work through disagreement, and agree on one ranking.

03

A grounded debrief

Use the team's actual choices and turning points, with the reference comparison as another perspective, not a teamwork verdict.

Scenario Library

Pick a setting that fits the room. The story changes, but the facilitated exercise stays familiar: debate 15 items, agree on one ranking, reveal the comparison, and reflect on how the team decided.

Built for

Use Protocol15 when you want a group to make one decision together, then reflect on the reasoning and influence that shaped it.

FacilitatorsRun a structured activity without building materials from scratch, then debrief the choices and turning points you observed.EducatorsGive students a scenario that turns group reasoning into one shared answer.Team-building sessionsGive an offsite or team-development session a real decision that surfaces priorities, influence, and how the group handles disagreement.Leadership workshopsPut pressure on decisions so teams can reflect on assumptions, influence, and how they reached agreement.

Quick answers

Session length
Plan around an hour: allow 25-35 minutes for ranking and 10-20 minutes for debrief, plus joining, briefing, and reveal. Adjust to your group and goals. The Free Demo limits ranking to 15 minutes.
Group size
Best with small teams that can debate one ranking together.
Room format
Use it in person, remote, or hybrid as long as participants can open a browser.
Participant setup
The host creates the session. Participants join free by code or link without accounts.

Choose a scenario, share a join link, and guide each team toward one shared ranking. Protocol15 handles the live mechanics so you can focus on the decisions and debrief.

"The best debriefs start with a choice the team defended, a mind that changed, or an assumption the group never tested."
