card sort

A deck of cards, one item per card, dealt onto a table and grouped into piles. The pile names live on separate cards so they can be rewritten without reprinting anything. Sorting is the whole operation: pick a card up, decide, put it down. The pile a card ends in is the claim, and the count in each pile is usually the finding.

Example

Best when you have between 10 and 60 items and the categories are still up for argument.
