Fog Etiquette For Meetings That Have Lost Their Coastline
When to deploy desk fog, when to apologise, and how not to make quarterly planning worse.
Declare visibility before deploying atmosphere
Pocket fog is a communication aid, not a substitute for a roadmap. Announce your intended density, then wait for someone with a spreadsheet to object.
Do not hide action items in fog
Action items need owners. Fog needs a jar. If these become confused, your meeting has crossed from ambience into governance failure.
Use a lens for feelings, not metrics
A Fresnel lens can make a concern look important, but it cannot repair a dashboard. This is precisely why we sell it.
