Preserving what defines a system under pressure, while keeping admissible options and decision integrity. The framework distinguishes scales: individual, organization, institution and state.
Find the definitions →The frameworkWhat does the diagnosis examine?
The system’s condition, the reliability of available evidence, the actors’ ability to act and the possibility of recovering a viable trajectory. The initial account is an entry to examine, not a conclusion.
