Primes¶
- Foresight
- The field's intellectual contribution is the discipline of plural-futures reasoning under explicit time horizons, as Slaughter (2008) and Inayatullah (2008) catalogue across the methods stack.
This sourceArticulates the futures-methods stack as six pillars (mapping, anticipating, timing, deepening, creating alternatives, transforming) under a shared plural-futures discipline. SUPPORTS the methods-stack-catalogue claim (156).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Inayatullah's own abstract catalogues a futures-methods set (six pillars, alternative futures), supporting the methods-stack half of the claim but not the framing about the field's intellectual contribution.
“six questions (will, fear, missing, alternatives, wish, and next steps as related to the future) and six pillars (mapping, anticipating, timing, deepening, creating alternatives, and transforming)”

- Futures Literacy
- Drawing on Inayatullah's (2008) six-pillars framework for transformative futures thinking, futures literacy develops across multiple institutional and educational contexts through characteristic knowledge-transfer patterns.
This sourceArticulates the six-pillars stack (mapping, anticipating, timing, deepening, creating alternatives, transforming); supports the Knowledge-Transfer framing of organising scenario, causal-layered, and backcasting techniques under a shared plural-futures discipline.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
