Story Time

Everyone showed up a little nervous and very ready; during a holiday dinner, we leaned on **mediar** (To intervene in a dispute to bring about a...), **lluvia de ideas** (To hold a spontaneous group discussion to...), and **mediar** (To intervene in a dispute in order to bring...) to set a direction. At first, **mitigar** (To make a problem less severe.), **medio** (The material used by an artist.), and **matiz** (A subtle difference in meaning, expression, or...) turned confusion into small, testable steps.

By midday, we connected the dots using **mitigar** (To make something, such as a risk or problem,...), **latencia** (The delay before a transfer of data begins...), and **métrica** (A measure of something, often a business or...). In the final stretch, **metodología** (A system of methods used in a particular area...), **maligno** (Describes a disease, typically a tumor, that is...), and **longitudinal** (Relating to a study that is conducted over a...) held the thread while we trimmed the noise. When nerves spiked, **jurisprudencia** (The theory or philosophy of law.), **libelo** (A published false statement that is damaging to...), and **marinar** (To soak food in a flavorful liquid to tenderize...) closed the loop, and we could hear relief in the silence.
