q2 · i? · associational · r1

tSSNA time-series observation of one engineering team during a 30-minute wallet prototyping session. "The Engineering Team concluded prototyping two minutes early, indicating earlier convergence and a shorter exploration phase." Other teams worked past the limit but TDC did not change in final minutes.

"The Engineering Team concluded prototyping two minutes early, indicating earlier convergence and a shorter exploration phase. This result may be attributed to the characteristic of engineers to solve problems efficiently"
