Recommendations (6)
Demonstrate the conceptual model through practice in multiple domains—social, consumption, education, and health—to verify its adequacy wherever participatory collaboration is central.
- Scope:

- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Exploratory → Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Apply and validate the model in real professional contexts—not only academic tests—especially in retail-like and social settings, including projects aimed at improving the quality of everyday urban life.

- Meso → Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Simplify the visual schema of the model and develop a procedural guide so that its concepts, relations, and movements become easier to understand, teach, and apply.
- Scope:
- Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Short → Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- High
Develop domain-specific application typologies and practical demonstrations of the conceptual model through trials in professional (non-academic) project contexts.
- Scope:
- Meso → Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Test the model against the sociotechnical systems of concrete problem-situations, including stakeholder needs and expectations, human physical and cognitive capacities, and the relation between behavior and technology.
