Wardley Mapping

Maps value creation and evolution stages so strategic options, levers, and market movements become legible.

Core question: How does user need connect to components, and how evolved are they?

Draws feedback, reinforcement, and balance so patterns, levers, and side effects become understandable.

Core question: Which hypothesized feedbacks could produce the observed behavior over time?

Stock and Flow Diagram

Models stocks, inflows and outflows, and delays to understand dynamics, bottlenecks, and capacity.

Core question: How do inflows and outflows change stocks over time?

Systems Thinking

Behavior Over Time Graph

Traces developments over time and reveals turning points, patterns, and possible causes of a trend.

Core question: How does one clearly defined variable change over a relevant period, and what might explain turning points?

System Archetypes

Moves relationships, patterns, and leverage toward a concrete result through "formulate current observations", "introduce archetype cards", and "discuss leverage and derive actions".

Core question: Which feedback archetype explains the pattern, and where can the structure change?

System Dynamics Simulation

Moves relationships, patterns, and leverage toward a concrete result through "define the question and time horizon", "define stocks and flows", and "run scenarios and vary assumptions".

Core question: What feedback and accumulation structure generates the behaviour, and how do scenarios respond?
