Exercises for Problem Specificity

Problem specificity exercises force a room to name a clear, costly problem, decision, or target instead of circling a vague topic. Choose these when a group has energy but no shared object for that energy to act on.

This category groups exercises by the Gathering Effectiveness pillar they strengthen.
