Record the adaptation and the response, not a universal promise

Enlarging a grid may enable one participant to move a token independently. Describe that change and observation accurately, then use feedback to decide whether to retain the option rather than claiming the same adjustment suits everyone.

Enlarging a route grid allowed this participant to move the token independently.

Keep the conclusion as specific as the evidence

State the original barrier. Record the adaptation. Note the response.

One useful adaptation is not a universal prescription. What evidence supports keeping it?

Ask for participant feedback.
