Questions hosts ask
Practical answers, not another product pitch.
Use this page to check the basics before you invite a group: joining, accounts, setup, room fit, and what Protocol15 is not.
How long does a session take?
Plan around an hour for a full session: allow 25-35 minutes for team ranking and 10-20 minutes for debrief, plus joining, briefing, and reveal. These are adjustable planning examples, not a fixed session length. The Free Demo limits the ranking round to 15 minutes; allow additional time for setup and reflection.
Do participants need accounts?
No. Participants join with the link or code from the host. The host manages the session; participants can join free from their own browser.
Does the host need an account?
Yes. The host creates the room, chooses the scenario, manages the live session, and controls when the reveal happens.
Can the host manage who edits the team list?
Yes. One participant edits at a time. During live play, the host can pass editing control to another participant on that team when a handoff would help the discussion. The Host Console also shows how long each participant has held editing control as a pacing cue, not as a measure of contribution or speaking time.
What is included in the Free Demo?
Each host account gets 2 Free Demo runs for Moon Mission, with up to 2 teams, 6 participants, and a 15-minute ranking round. Demo runs are used only when live play starts.
Can I use it remotely or in person?
Yes. It works for remote, in-room, and hybrid sessions as long as participants can open a browser and communicate with their team.
How many teams can play?
The Free Demo supports up to 2 teams. Paid session-credit rooms support up to 8 teams, 40 participants, and a 40-minute ranking round. Custom agreements may cover larger needs.
Do session credits expire?
Paid session credits are valid for 12 months unless checkout or a written agreement says otherwise.
Can I run several rooms?
Each live room uses one credit. If you expect to need several rooms at the same time, larger participant counts, or a managed rollout, contact us before the event.
Are session packs subscriptions?
No. Session packs are one-time prepaid credits. They do not create a recurring plan or any future charge.
Is this a test or assessment?
No. Protocol15 is a facilitated group decision exercise. It creates a shared result for reflection, but it does not diagnose team dynamics or prove performance.
Does the highest score mean the best teamwork?
No. The score compares a team's scenario ranking with a reference ranking. It does not rate collaboration quality. A facilitator can use the differences and the decisions that produced them as prompts for reflection.
Can I customize scenarios?
Custom scenarios are not self-serve yet. They may become available later for custom or enterprise engagements.
Do participants pay?
No. Protocol15 uses host-paid sessions. Participants join free with the room link or code.
