What happens when the first number is spoken aloud?

Same five demo votes. Run both reveals. Notice how order changes what the room feels before anyone debates.

Stand: September 25, 2026 · No account required.

Story: “As a buyer, I can filter the catalogue by delivery window.” Five teammates already chose a number. You are watching — not voting.

Speak in turn

Reveal one card at a time — like going around the table.

  • Alex?
  • Blake?
  • Casey?
  • Drew?
  • Eden?

Reveal together

Turn every card face-up at once — like hidden planning poker.

  • Alex?
  • Blake?
  • Casey?
  • Drew?
  • Eden?

Where the numbers come from

Anchoring: Tversky & Kahneman (1974), Judgment under Uncertainty — heuristics and biases. Simultaneous reveal: facilitation practice as in Cohn, Agile Estimating and Planning — hide votes until everyone has chosen. This page is a demonstration, not a live session.
