Purposedifferent | When a group without a fixed agenda needs to get into useful conversations quickly, Lean Coffee structures the start around interests rather than a presentation. The group itself negotiates which topics get time first and which wait. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
