What happens in this story4 scenarios
The project is done and the recognition is coming. But whose name goes first? You built this together — and now the conversation about credit threatens to undo everything.
What started with the credit conversation just got more complicated. Now you need to navigate credit and ownership conversations before resentment builds — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Giving honest creative feedback without crushing someone's enthusiasm — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to navigate credit and ownership conversations before resentment builds not just today, but every time this situation returns.
