The Relevancy analysis
From the gestalten tree, causal network and evaluation profile we can obtain the strategically relevant core variables for the project investigated.
Understanding complex situations
By navigating through the gestalt tree we can follow the argumentative links of the interviewees and obtain a deductively ordered overview.
Basic values and higher goals
Some of the significant core variables express the value system of the goup. They are basic values and higher aims, which are explicated – they serve the formulation of a model.
Means
