Tether: This is the primary output surface after concept alignment (2a) and Kinsley’s Figma Make (or equivalent) pass: not a single static mock—it is a review + iteration workspace that feeds Organize (2c) and later three-pillar analysis (3).
1. Job to be done
User sees every variation the team generated (minimum two visible in the series; copy may say “Kinsley has generated N variations…”).
User scrolls through previews (carousel / horizontal scroll / paged list—one primary pattern, consistent with ux-design-specification.md §11.3).
User selects one concept to treat as baseline (optional: retain additional alternates as non-baseline references).
Only for the selected concept, show Refine: NL instructions, Breakout window (external tab), submit, and carry-back (link / attach / import).
Persist selection + refinements so 2c receives initial designs, concept labels, and core needs from step 1 as a handoff bundle—not disembodied features.
2. Required layout (center workspace)
Block
Content
Header
Title: Generated Concepts. Subcopy: e.g. “Select one to establish the baseline for the Organize phase.” (exact tone can vary; meaning must not).
Carousel / series
Cards with preview (thumbnail or embedded low-fi), direction title, optional one-line rationale. Keyboard and pointer scroll; selected state visually distinct (border, check, radio).
Refine (selected only)
Section title e.g. Iterate on this concept. NL textarea (placeholder: concrete UI feedback). Breakout window button (external-link affordance). Send / paper-plane for refinement request.
Team room
Kinsley + John can acknowledge refinements; job states if async (NFR-P3).
Right strip — artifacts: Concept group shows per-variation links/thumbnails and sync state.
3. Handoff to 2c (data contract for engineering)
Organize must be able to show, without hunting:
Baselined (and any kept alternate) 2b visuals or links.
Concept names/labels and short framing for each direction.
Core needs rollup from ideation: problem, users, constraints, risks, and the capability list—so themes are argued in context.
See ux-screen-spec-step-2c-organize.md §0 for the same contract from the Organize side.
4. Reject in review
Only one giant mock with no way to see other variations.
Refine visible for every card at once (noise)—bind Refine to selection.
Breakout that navigates away from Quorum without preserving session (tab/window additive, not replace).
Invented methodology on the rail (see figma-prompt-kinsley-quorum.md).
