THE URDIMA FRAMEWORK
From latent capability to durable autonomy.
Nine connected steps turn observation into evidence, access, transfer and institutional learning.
OBSERVE
Read the context before defining the problem.
IDENTIFY
Reveal capability and its binding constraint.
DESIGN
Architect the intervention and conditions.
BUILD
Develop capability or modify the system.
EVIDENCE
Make progress observable and verifiable.
TEST
Test whether capability persists without support.
CONNECT
Link demonstrated capability with opportunity.
TRANSFER
Move knowledge, control and responsibility.
LEARN
Use evidence to improve the next mechanism.
