Worldview Articulation
Make explicit the fundamental beliefs and values that drive interpretation and action
When to use
"Use when analyzing deep disagreements that persist despite shared facts. Make explicit the fundamental beliefs and values that drive interpretation and action. Conflicts that look like factual disputes are often worldview disputes."
Example
"Two teams disagree on whether to ship a feature. Both have the same data. Team A's worldview — ship fast, learn from real users. Team B's worldview — ship right, protect user trust. The conflict is not about the data; it is about which value is primary. Articulating this makes the real decision explicit."
Common misuse
"Treating worldview articulation as a way to prove the other side wrong. The point is not to win the worldview argument but to understand why people with the same facts reach different conclusions."
