- A user should be able to...is that fair?
- Orders? What kind of orders?
- Is it that you would like to be able to do xxx, or do you want to also be able to track...
- Yes...and!
- What if one of those go down?
- Yeah, that's a good point
- I don't think we planned for this
- Why are you not...?
- You're adding alot of complexity...
- This diagram didn't address my questions about....
- This risk is not particularly interesting
- Sometimes lots of those conversation

Thank you Ben and Callum!
