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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
