Institutional Prototypes

Experimental models for how institutions might judge, listen, allocate, archive, or make decisions differently.

Who It Is For

Institutions interested in testing new formats before they become policy, procedure, or public infrastructure.

Institutional Problem Addressed

Many institutions inherit systems of judgment and exchange that no longer fit the questions they face. Prototyping allows these systems to be tested as lived situations.

Possible Formats

  • Decision prototype
  • Listening structure
  • Award mechanism
  • Public evaluation format

Deliverables

  • Prototype brief
  • Scenario design
  • Testing format
  • Reflection document

Example Use Cases

  • Redesigning an award process
  • Testing a public listening structure
  • Rehearsing a new allocation model
