A _CaT_ encourages participants to collaboratively build an artifact by “designing by metaphor” and use it as a means to translate their ideas to the systems, products or services being designed or tested. This helps constrain the physical artefact and enables participants to draw out connections that wouldn't otherwise be clear if they were directly asked to design a solution. It also gives non-expert designers an easier way to get involved and contribute their ideas without having prior knowledge or expertise.

During this collaborative event, participants should continuously describe the process to each other, support each other when there are different abilities, and communi_CaT_e how the work gets done. Constant negotiation of needs generates individual stories and valuable information that should be recorded, collected, and applied to enhance the design of the system, product or service being iterated upon. It is important to avoid distilling user insights and stories to a collection of averages and eliminating individual differences in favour of sameness because each story is as important as another and will contribute to rich designs and insights.
