A multi-dimension snapshot that examines a topic across several interacting system layers, still within a defined and controlled scope.
What it covers
One topic
One primary system or context
Up to three interacting dimensions, such as:
Regulatory or governance structures
Environmental or physical constraints
Operational or infrastructure context
Market, usage, or behavioural factors
Risk, friction, or dependency patterns
No “should I do this?” conclusions
No scenario modelling
No success likelihoods
No professional judgement
People comparing complexity within a system
Early feasibility or viability thinking
Stakeholders narrowing focus before deeper engagement
“How do multiple system layers interact around this topic?”
“Where does complexity or friction tend to arise?”
“What constraints commonly shape decisions here?”
“What factors typically require specialist input later?”
