Who is the Defences in Outline poster for?

When should you use the Defences in Outline poster?
While reporting, because most defences are built before publication, not after. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Defences in Outline belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
