"Digitally aware young adults and working professionals need clear, timely information about how their personal data will be used at the point of collection because current consent interfaces are structurally designed to obscure data use and minimise genuine choice, leaving users who are willing to participate unable to consent meaningfully."

| H1 | How might we make future data use clear to users at the exact moment they share it? |
| H2 | How might we give users ongoing, low-friction access to their consent decisions? |
| H3 | How might we design consent flows that enable genuine choice without blocking service access? |
| H4 | How might we make the gap between what users consent to and what platforms do visible in real time? |
| H5 | How might we reduce the effort required to exercise meaningful data control to a realistic level? |

Q1 — History-tab idea: does it really fit the POV?
Our POV calls for "clear, timely information at the point of collection." A History tab shows users what was already done with their data, not at the point of collection. Does this still satisfy the POV, or is it solving a related but different problem?
Q2 — Popup-summary: was it killed for the right reason?
The popup summary was scored ✗ on POV fit and ✗ on uniqueness, which led to its kill. But arguably, "a clear summary at the point of share/accept" is literally "at the point of collection" — so the POV ✗ feels like it could've been a scoring slip. Worth reconsidering before we lock our finalists in?
Q3 — Combine vs choose: does the merge call still feel right?
Because it was getting quite late yesterday and we were all a bit tired, the decision to merge these two finalists (F1 and F2) may have been anchored by me (I will own it, sorry guys). Opening up discussion for reconsideration or input from team.
