RESOLVE provides the process spine and sequencing logic. The dropdowns below list the available alternative methods for each stage, including options such as SCAMPER, OODA, WRAP, and others where relevant. Select the closest fit from the list for that stage. Fixed tools (shown in blue) cannot be substituted - they are RESOLVE's unique analytical contribution.
R
Reality
Framing tool
Goal: surface multiple plausible framings before any analysis begins. The mandatory framing scan prevents premature framing closure and framing lock-in.
■
SYN - cross-domain synthesis - always runs
Fixed
Diverge tool generates volume with no filter. EXP always takes the best candidates and goes deep. You choose how wide - RESOLVE handles the depth and rigour.
ENS is RESOLVE's most distinctive tool - no competing framework runs deliberate multi-perspective ensemble analysis before selection. It always runs regardless of evaluation tool choice.
V
Value delivery
Delivery tool
Mostly stable across contexts. Lean/Agile suits iterative product delivery. Logic model suits policy and programme contexts.
