A quiet room, a ticking clock, and a blank page; during a board rehearsal, we leaned on **subyugado** (Brought under domination or control, especially...), **Server** (A computer or computer program that manages...), and **sinergia** (The interaction of two or more agents or forces...) to set a direction. By midday, **satisfecho** (Pleased because you have got what you wanted or...), **sintetizar** (To combine different elements or ideas into a...), and **ruinoso** (In a state of decay or disrepair, often due to...) turned confusion into small, testable steps.

At first, we connected the dots using **síndrome** (A group of symptoms that consistently occur...), **septuagenario** (A person who is between 70 and 79 years old.), and **sabotaje** (To deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct...). In the final stretch, **sinergia** (The interaction of two or more agents or forces...), **rotación** (The rate at which employees leave a company and...), and **Subconscious** (Relating to the part of the mind that is not...) held the thread while we trimmed the noise. When nerves spiked, **solucionar problemas** (To solve problems in a systematic way.), **Schema** (A representation of a plan or theory in the...), and **suceder** (To happen or occur; to come to be known.) closed the loop, and we knew it would stick.
