The document outlines the process of assumption storming in a design sprint to identify the most critical assumptions to address. Participants are instructed to individually note their thoughts on the topic, categorize them by risk and importance, and then collaboratively discuss and finalize which assumptions are the riskiest to focus on. It also includes hints and tips for effective participation in the exercise.
