Insight 1
Design options need a place to be discussed
A model alone is not enough
The workflow connects generated options to a place where they can be reviewed, compared and discussed more clearly by a wider team.

Insight 2
Notion can act as a lightweight interface
Simple tools can still support serious workflows
For some design studies, a lightweight database or review board can be enough to structure the conversation around options and decisions.
Insight 3
Insight 3
The real value is decision support
Computational design should help teams choose
Generating many options is only useful if the team can understand, filter and compare them. Design explorers help connect generation to decision-making.
