Research framing

Community Systems Discovery

A bounded discovery project identifying common operational technology constraints across community-led organisations.

01 / Challenge

There is limited comparable evidence about which operational constraints are genuinely shared and which are highly context-specific.

02 / Proposed intervention

Use interviews, workflow walkthroughs and document review to build an anonymised problem map and prioritise future catalyst interventions.

Technology in context

The technology is a set of choices, not the outcome.

Final products and providers will be selected during approved discovery. These capability areas describe the proposed solution boundary.

Target results

What evidence would need to show.

Six organisations contribute structured discovery evidence Common and context-specific constraints are distinguished A prioritised, fundable catalyst brief is approved No sensitive organisational or beneficiary information is published

Sustainability test

What happens after delivery?

Research outputs will be reusable, openly accessible where appropriate and designed to prevent repeated discovery burden on participating organisations.
