N° 02 — Process

Seven phases / 2026

The process,phase by phase.

Seven phases that emerged in the field. Each phase is a milestone — not a checkpoint.

Adapt the order, repeat where needed, skip what doesn’t apply to your territory.

  1. Phase

    01

    Get to know the process and the platform

    Understand by example before you start.

    Before launching a project, soak in similar cases: see how other cities framed their question, ran their workshops, deployed their mediation. This phase only takes some reading time.

    Outputs

    • Shared understanding
    • First roadmap

  2. Phase

    02

    Define a process suited to your territory

    Pick sites, identify partners, set a timeline.

    You compose a tailored process: how many phases, which sites, which public moments, which teams. Pace and scope are set here — not before.

    Outputs

    • Project specification
    • Committed schedule

  3. Phase

    03

    Run contributory workshops

    Turn participants into co-designers.

    Physical workshops where inhabitants compose their collages. This is where the tool fully makes sense: participants don’t answer a questionnaire — they propose.

    Outputs

    • First collages
    • Initial debate material

  4. Phase

    04

    Prepare the digital platform

    Configure modules, maps, scenarios.

    Platform configured with the chosen modules, cartographic backgrounds imported, scenarios prepared. Tech in service of the editorial — not the other way around.

    Outputs

    • Ready platform
    • Trained mediators

  5. Phase

    05

    Run digital mediation in public space

    Meet inhabitants where they live.

    Tablets in hand, mediators go out to people — markets, train stations, parks. We capture voices that no meeting would ever reach.

    Outputs

    • Hundreds to thousands of contributions
    • Real representativeness

  6. Phase

    06

    Analyse contributions

    Quantitative, qualitative, fully transparent.

    Analysis combines vote weight and the richness of verbatims. Everything is traceable: each conclusion can be traced back to its source contributions.

    Outputs

    • Analysis report
    • Usable verbatims

  7. Phase

    07

    Restitution & sharing

    Public event, exhibit the collages, dialogue with the city.

    We give back what we received: public exhibition of the collages, direct exchange between officials and contributors. The project isn’t closed — it truly begins.

    Outputs

    • Documented decisions
    • Trust built
