'Document-_____ culture' means writing things down first before scheduling a meeting.
'Document-first culture' means defaulting to writing (docs, RFCs, Loom videos) before calling a meeting — allowing asynchronous review, comment, and decision-making.

'The decision was made async in the _____.' What format is used for written technical proposals?
RFC (Request for Comments) is a written document proposing a decision or design change. Async decision-making via RFC allows all stakeholders to review and comment on their own schedule.

'The async meeting has a written _____ and async comments.' What is provided in advance?
An async meeting agenda is distributed in advance so participants can review, comment, and prepare responses before any synchronous discussion — or eliminate the meeting entirely.
4 / 5
'We use _____ for async video updates.' Which tool is commonly used for short video messages?
Loom allows recording short video updates (demos, walkthroughs, status updates) that teammates can watch on their own time — combining the richness of video with async flexibility.
5 / 5
'Async-first reduces meeting _____.' What problem is solved by reducing synchronous meetings?
'Meeting fatigue' — exhaustion from too many synchronous video calls — is reduced by async-first practices that replace meetings with written updates and async video.
