      "level": 2,
      "text": "The most common source of friction in hybrid work is not resistance but ambiguity: how many days are expected? Who decides on team days? What happens when no desk is free? Door James makes these rules visible at the moment of booking – as a quota, a lead time, a note. That moves clarification away from individual conversations and into the system."

      "heading": "Prepare codetermination instead of renegotiating it",
      "level": 2,
      "text": "Experience shows that projects move much faster when the technical details are on the table early: which data types are processed, how long they are stored, when anonymization happens, which roles have access and which features are explicitly voluntary. That is exactly the list we provide – see also the works council guide."

    {
      "heading": "Employee experience is more than booking",
      "level": 2,
      "text": "The part that often gets lost in projects: for employees the booking function matters less than the outcome – sitting next to their team, having a parking space, not having to search for a visitor at reception. These points decide adoption, and they are measurable: through booking rates, no-shows and the number of manual questions at reception."

  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "Can Door James enforce attendance requirements?",
      "answer": "The platform can model quotas, lead times and group permissions. Whether that becomes an obligation is a question of your rules, not of the software."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can managers see who was in when?",
      "answer": "That depends on the role model and your rules. By default, evaluations target spaces and resources; personal visibility is a configuration and codetermination question."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the colleague finder mandatory?",
      "answer": "No. Visibility depends on individual privacy settings and on activation per location."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does Door James help with the works council agreement?",
      "answer": "We supply the technical details: data types, storage locations, retention, roles, optional features. The agreement itself and its legal assessment remain with your organization."
