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 many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together.
