From my own book to a full workshop day in one afternoon

I wrote a field manual for projects in crisis (PULL UP) and wanted to turn it into a one-day seminar. I used Metodic through its connector in Claude, and that was the part that impressed me most. I described the day, pointed it at the tools from my book, and a few minutes later I had a timed 09:00 to 17:00 agenda. Every block names the method it builds on, so I can see where the design comes from instead of guessing.

What works well for me
- The materials. Facilitation slides with timers and speaker notes, method cards, A4 worksheets, wall canvases and a participant pre-read, all generated from the same session.
- Branding. Colours, fonts, logos for light and dark surfaces and my own footer line. The contrast check is a nice touch: it keeps my gold accent on shapes and darkens it automatically for small text.
- Credits go a long way. The complete day with all materials cost me about 14 credits.

My wishes for the roadmap
1. Respect the format. My first version was an online session, and the steps still asked people to tape a line on the floor and turn their chairs around. In-person seems to be the default mindset.
2. Follow a detailed brief more closely. When I give a flow, I would like the Architect to keep my order and blocks, or tell me why it changes them.
3. Show all steps on task slides. Slides stop at four steps, so a six-step block quietly loses two.
4. More in the connector: edit profile and branding, delete sessions, and lighter results. Several outputs were too large to display in the chat.
5. Control over template text. I avoid long dashes in my writing, but the templates add them to titles.
6. System fonts such as Arial, not only Google Fonts.

Bottom line: if you already know your content, Metodic turns it into a runnable, branded session much faster than I could build it myself. Fix the format bias and the brief-following, and it is a five-taco tool for me.

Michael, thank you for this! Turning PULL UP into a full seminar day in one afternoon is exactly what I hoped people would do with Metodic. You also wrote down where it got in your way, precisely enough that we can act on it.

I’m glad the method attribution landed. Showing where every activity comes from is a deliberate choice: you should be able to explain your design to a client, not just trust it.

Your two conditions for the fifth taco are the first things we’re working on as we speak:

Respect the format. An online session should never ask people to tape a line on the floor. The format you choose (online, in person or hybrid) will be a rule for every step, not a suggestion.
Follow the brief. When you give a flow, the Architect should keep your order and your activities. If it thinks a change would help, it should propose it and tell you why, instead of changing it quietly.

Two smaller ones we’re picking up alongside:

Task slides will show all steps. A six-step activity should not lose two along the way.
Template titles will stop adding long dashes. Your writing style should win over ours.

The connector wishes are on the list too: editing your profile and branding, deleting sessions, and lighter results that fit in the chat. So is support for system fonts like Arial.

One tip: the app has a feedback button. What you send there comes straight to me and gets a reply within two days at most. Quite often the fix or the feature is built within that same window. So if something bothers you while you work, send it there and you’ll usually see it change quickly.

Thanks again for taking the time to write this so carefully. When you run the PULL UP day, I’d love to hear how it went.

Hope Metodic will convince you to add that extra taco soon!
