Learning Card
Purposedifferent
A Future Reality Tree shows how desired actions are meant to lead to a better system state. The method checks whether a path of change holds together logically before time flows into implementation.When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.
