Learning Card
Purposedifferent
Polarity Mapping makes tensions between two opposing poles tangible, such as standardization and adaptation or control and autonomy. The method guards against making apparent either-or decisions prematurely.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.
