We can extend co-design to create a tool for collaborative, legible design processes.

→

Existing methods of community engagement are naive.

→

they do not show communities how their opinions change outcomes

→

they do not show tradeoffs in a clear and legible way

→

Co-design allows for multiple levels of detail to exist as interconnected design problems.

→

The implementation of some design problems in co-design structures are subjective and are dependent on stakeholder values, i.e. opinion-oriented

→

e.g. at a bus stop should we install a longer bench without a shelter, or a shorter bench with a shelter?

→

while technical functionality is impacted (number of people who can sit),

→

the opinions of those who use the bus stop would ideally be considered in the implementation of this design problem

→

Existing collective prioritization tools lack integration with usable design frameworks

→

Generalized collaborative design can be used in contexts outside of government and policy.
