Primes

• Backcasting
  • Quist and Vergragt (2006) trace this distinction across three decades of practice and argue that the normative orientation of backcasting is its defining methodological commitment.

    This sourceReviews three decades of backcasting and proposes a participatory five-stage framework; argues the normative commitment to a desired future is the defining differentiator from forecasting.

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? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
