r

Outcomes are positive statements of capability or achievement, usually suggesting a motivating factor we want to occur in the future. e.g. "to continue to live on earth without rising sea levels and turbulent weather systems wiping out civilisation". Evidence for every outcome: Evidence can come from academic publications, industry reports, and interviews with experts and key opinion leaders. This allows us to argue about the tractability of certain approaches and decide if we need to scope further to increase our confidence.

Hypothesised Solutions
[HSols]

It might be possible.

r

An outcome which today we believe is possible but which we have a low understanding of. e.g. Promising future directions that can become solutions or flipped hypothesised constraints etc.

Tactics

"Try by doing this way"

"Have new model with
different material"

Hypothesised Constraints
[HCons]

It might be not possible.

r

An outcome which, today, we believe is not possible but which we have a low understanding of. e.g. Failed attempts to apply a specific approach to an outcome, assumptions, or blindingly obvious beliefs about the status quo that govern the behaviour of incumbents, investors and entrepreneurs.

Solutions
[Sols]

It is possible.

r

An outcome which, today, we believe is possible and we have high scoping completeness. e.g. Companies and/or startups that have a proven impact on the outcome we care about.

Constraints
[Cons]

It is not possible.

r

An outcome which, today, we believe is not possible and for which our understanding is pretty complete, for example, something that blocks our pathway. e.g. Challenges, barriers, bottlenecks, thermodynamic limits.
