How I work: You're involved at every step
I don't disappear into a room and come back with something finished. I share work in progress, ask questions, and make decisions with you. Not for you.
In practice you get a link to the current state early on and can click through it whenever you like, not only in meetings. Show it to the people who will use it. Their reactions tell me more than any specification, and they go straight into the next round.
