Definition #
Built on Frost — ‘two roads diverged in the wood.’ Every Guest, in the moment the engineered Feel lands, is at a fork. One road leads to a great experience. The other to a bad one. There is no middle road. ‘It was fine’ is not a road — it’s the bad road dressed up to sound acceptable.

Why Behind the Thinking #
The aggregate Feel routes the Guest. The operator’s job is to engineer the senses with enough intention that the Feel routes the Guest down the great road on purpose, every time. Default operations route Guests randomly. Engineered operations route them by design.
