Where Training Adds Value
The install handles: concept transfer, better than any workshop ever did. On demand, patient, in context, forever.
The human runs the dojo. Training's value inverted: it is now practice under observation: writing real OKRs in the room, live teardowns of the team's actual drafts, immediate feedback with taste behind it, reps until the language is native (the craft is built, not briefed). And the cohort effect no tool reproduces: shared vocabulary formed socially, champions made visible to each other, the moment a peer, not a trainer, says "that's a task, not a Key Result."
Judgement: grading practice work against a bar calibrated across a hundred organisations: knowing the difference between a genuinely ambitious draft and a fluent-sounding safe one. Push-back: in the room, no sandbagged draft survives; asynchronously, every one does.
Why external specifically: the calibrated bar (an internal trainer's "good" drifts toward the local average: the compression problem applied to standards); forcing function: a scheduled session makes practice happen; self-serve learning is the gym membership of capability building; fewer biases: fluency assessed without internal politics or history.
Design implication: flip the classroom. The install teaches before the session; humans spend every contact hour on reps. See The Human Layer.

The install handles the knowing. This is the part it can’t do.
