Designers already do this. You’re in the middle of a piece of work, a decision needs making. Which option is stronger? Does the idea hold together? Will people get it? Is it original? Considered? Doing what it’s supposed to?
You’re Judgement starts to feel unreliable. There used to be someone nearby. A quick “hey, what you reckon?”—a nod either way. Doubt gone. Move on.
That moment has disappeared. You send screenshots to peers for reassurance. You sit with it too long, circling the same decisions. You open social media, come back more uncertain. You push it further than it needs to go—or abandon it entirely, start again. Doubt creeps in. Deadlines edge closer. Stress rises. You keep going—but the decisions don’t quite settle.
This new way of working is normal, it’s also a coping mechanism. FPN exists to restore that moment. The co-sign to move forward.
