Time a six-minute happy path with a backup narration. SpeakNow asks user and why-not-spreadsheet questions.

EVENT TEMPLATE
Practice for Product Demos
Demos fail on tours. The room needs the user, one path, and a result. SpeakNow times that and asks what happens when the live piece dies.

One path

If live breaks, narrate the same path without apologizing twice.
