There is a part of every interaction that doesn’t appear on the agenda.
We call them Tiny Traces.
A growing collection of moments for everyday reflection.
What are Tiny Traces?
Tiny Traces reveal what you sense before you can name it. They show up in everyday situations – with coworkers, family, friends, or yourself. We collect these moments nobody speaks about – so you can step back, reflect and see what’s actually happening.
Each trace is broken down into a simple, consistent format – one page at a time.
Imagine this. Ask yourself. Try this. Notice what happens.
A growing collection of traces. Accessible to anyone. No frameworks. No jargon.
Our Booklets.
We were looking for a format that could hold difficult moments without resolving them. Something you can carry into a session, leave with a client, or work through on your own. Often these moments leave traces behind – traces which are often unnamed. These booklets are an invitation to enter those moments differently.
Sensing Situations
30 Situations. For Noticing Tension. And Shaping Your Response.
There is a part of every interaction that doesn’t appear on the agenda.
It shows up in the silence after someone speaks. In the camera that stays off. In the message that says “deadline is tomorrow” with no context. In the call you let ring.
This booklet holds 30 of those moments. Not as problems to be solved, as situations to be entered differently.
Each one comes with questions that slow things down, and small suggestions for what might shift when you actually notice what’s there.
No specialist vocabulary required. No framework to master.
Just 30 ordinary moments. And something to try.
Sticky Pattern

The Collective
The people who built this come from different countries and fields. All working with social systems. All looking for a more tangible way of making systems thinking accessible. Each brought their own way of reading a room, sensing what goes unspoken, finding language for what is usually just felt.
The ideas for the traces are rooted in community conversation and lived experience. They emerged through exchange and iteration across different people and contexts.
