The Common Ground Challenge™ is a structured, timed, audio-only exchange between two people see an issue differently.

Instead of debating, participants work step-by-step to propose, refine, and reflect on possible statements of common ground. Equal speaking time, disciplined listening, and written proposals keep the exchange focused, fair, and constructive.

You don’t need to overthink it. The format walks you through each phase, one step at a time.

Sandbox Mode (Current Version)

Until our full tech-guided platform launches, sessions are conducted live in Zoom and follow a clear format:

• Audio-only conversation

• Structured turn-taking

• Timed speaking windows

• Written proposals submitted in chat

• A shared display page showing phase, statement, and countdown timer

Structure replaces chaos with clarity — and creates the conditions for genuine movement.
