# Mission and Vision Distillation

**Goal →** An exercise to get to the essence of your lab and help you establish mission and vision.

**Time it takes → 1** hour sprint

**When to do it →** At the beginning of your journey. Make a habit to ask yourself if your daily lab activities are connected to your project’s essence. 

**Who participates →** Do it within your lab team initially. In a more advanced version, each stakeholder completes one. Then stakeholders come together to share ideas, particularly focusing on similarities. The dissimilarities provide an opportunity to understand stakeholder differences.

**Template →** :warning: Link

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://books.fablabbcn.org/communication-handbook/curate-and-create-a-narrative/distillation-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
