Primes¶
- Future Wheel
- Domain-tagging (marking nodes as social, economic, technological, political, environmental, legal, ethical), as Slaughter (1996) systematizes in the Knowledge Base of Futures Studies, enables cross-domain pattern analysis — for instance, noting that a technology change produces predominantly economic first-order effects but predominantly social higher-order effects is a strategically-consequential observation.
This sourceComprehensive systematization of futures-studies methodology; supports the domain-tagging practice (social, economic, technological, political, environmental, legal, ethical) that enables cross-domain pattern analysis.

- Wild Cards
- A mature foresight program typically uses wild-card analysis to populate a candidate pool from which scenarios are constructed, in the methodological architecture Slaughter (1996) develops in The Knowledge Base of Futures Studies; scenarios then weave multiple wild cards together with trends and other drivers to produce narrative accounts of alternative futures.
