Decision Architecture
Participation Space
DE: Beteiligungsraum
The genuinely open space in which participation can still change a decision.
A participation space is the genuinely open area in which involvement can still change a decision — in criteria, options, timing or the decision itself.
Context
Participation loses trust not when the space is small, but when it is described as larger than it is. Naming the space honestly is more effective than promising influence that does not exist.
