I’m actively researching and cataloging various kinds of projects relating to decision-support, deliberation, sense-making, and reasoning. Some example categories include:
Deliberative Democracy Tools—Systems for structured citizen participation, including participatory budgeting platforms and stakeholder engagement tools
Argument Mapping & Visualization—Platforms for making reasoning explicit and visually representing dialectical structures
Deep Thinking Environments—Slow media and platforms designed for thoughtful engagement rather than rapid interaction
Belief Tracking Systems—Tools for attestation, commitment to positions, and tracking belief revision over time
Bayesian & Evidential Reasoning Frameworks—Platforms that make probabilistic thinking explicit and support coherent belief updating
Epistemic Communities—Networks and platforms with explicit norms for truth-seeking and intellectual humility
Structured Dialogue Systems—Tools supporting deep listening and methodical conversation beyond typical messaging platforms
Cooperative Governance Frameworks—Sociocratic, holacratic, and other systems for managing shared resources and decision-making
Knowledge Synthesis & Curation—Tools for collaborative sense-making with quality controls beyond popularity metrics
Decision Support Systems—Frameworks making decision processes explicit, including values clarification and cognitive debiasing
Consensus-Building Methodologies—Approaches for finding agreement through structured deliberation rather than voting or averaging
Collaborative Forecasting—Platforms for collective prediction and long-term thinking across groups
Distributed Sense-Making—Tools enabling groups to develop shared understanding of complex issues
Platform Cooperativism—Digital platforms owned and governed by their users/workers rather than external shareholders
Solidarity Economy Infrastructure—Tools supporting mutual aid, community wealth building, and non-extractive economics
Does this interest you as well? Please reach out or comment. I’m hoping to connect with other people with similar interests.
