# Convene expert panels to debate edge cases

**Action:** Convene expert panels to debate realistic scenarios and edge cases.

Instead of asking experts to write down their processes (see [[contrarian-experts-cannot-document]]), bring a small group of experienced practitioners together with a moderator. Walk them through realistic scenarios and edge cases. Use their disagreements and debates to surface tacit judgment.

**Outcome:** Surfaces tacit judgment and nuance that experts cannot articulate in the abstract.

This is step-one of [[framework-scenario-based-extraction]] and pairs directly with [[action-use-transcripts-as-context]] to produce [[concept-codifying-judgment|codified judgment]].
