Divergent Perspectives

Where stakeholder viewpoints differ — critical for evaluation validity and equity
💡 Evaluation principle: Divergent perspectives are not errors to resolve — they reveal genuine heterogeneity in stakeholder experience. Document them as evidence and analyse what drives variation.
❓

Draft Evaluation Questions

Co-created from your notes — grounded in what stakeholders actually raised
💡 Next step: Validate these questions with stakeholders before finalising. Use the Workshop Designer to run a prioritisation session. Mark each question as confirmed, revised, or excluded based on participant feedback.
