Based review available specification potential contextual requirements, we propose unifying framework guide backgrounds can work together evaluate suitability co-creating pathways. evaluation method promises integration concepts approaches necessary address complexities problems at hand while ensuring robust methodologies based well-tested evidence negotiated among participants. Using two illustrative case studies, demonstrate explore choice varying contexts. insights gained inform creative pathway development through tailored combinations best serve specific context particular studies.
