Perspective grounding

Map the system separately before discussing solutions.

Different roles can study the same organisation and draw different, honest systems. Keep each view intact; compare the connections rather than averaging the judgement.

  1. 01FrameUse the same decision question and system boundary.
  2. 02Map privatelyEach participant records actors, decisions, constraints and value.
  3. 03OverlayMark shared, contested and missing connections.
  4. 04InvestigateAssign evidence and ownership before proposing a solution.

Connection and divergence register

Where do the maps connect, conflict or fall silent?

Do not resolve disagreement by majority vote. Record its consequence for the decision and the evidence needed.

ImpactGround can organise and compare the maps. It cannot manufacture participation, decide which lived experience is correct or turn agreement into evidence.
