Outside of competitive space: social and public spaces

These are the tables for “characteristics” and “general properties” defined by Simon Wardley. They are used to identify a component and guide the people mapping to locate a component in the most suitable stage of evolution.

The analysis done by Simon does not include the social space nor the public space.

I have added the columns for these spaces. And I will try to review from time to time and add suggestions to the empty spaces.

Do you have any suggestions about how to get collect data and define the best options?

Characteristics

Status	Social	Genesis	Custom	Product (+ rental)	Commodity(+utility)	Public/common
Ubiquity	social norms??	Rare	Slowly increasing consumption	Rapidly increasing consumption	Widespread and stabilized	Basic for the society
Certainty		Poorly understood	Rapid increases in learning	Rapid increases in use / fit for purpose	Generally understood (in terms of use)
Publication type	Informal conversations	Normally describe the wonder of the thing	Build / construct / awareness and learning	Maintenance / operations / installation / features	Focused on use	Law (local, federal, national)

General properties

Status	Social	Genesis	Custom	Product (+ rental)	Commodity(+utility)	Public/common
Market	No market	Undefined market	Forming market	Growing market	Mature market
Knowledge management	Popular culture socialization and collaboration	Uncertain	Learning on use	Learning on operation	Known / accepted
Market perception	no market?	Chaotic (non-linear)	Domain of experts	Increasing expectations of use	Ordered / trivial	Regulated
User perception		Different / confusing / exciting / surprising	Cutting edge / emerging	Common / Disappointed if not used or available	Standard / expected	Regulated
Perception in industry	No comertial trade off	Competitive advantage / unpredictable / unknown	Competitive advantage / ROI / case examples	Advantage through implementation / features	Cost of doing business / accepted	Regulated
Focus of value	Relationship ??	High future value	Seeking profit / ROI	High profitability	High volume / low margins	Equity? Society?
Understanding	Non written rules are clear	Poorly understood / unpredictable	Increasing understanding / development of measures	Increasing education / constant refinement of needs / measures	Believed to be well defined / stable measurable
Comparison	Me, we and the others	Constantly changing / a differential / unstable	Learning from others / testing the water / some evidential support	Feature difference	Essential / operational advantage	differences in rights
Failure	Not accepted	High / tolerated / assumed	Moderate / unsurprising but disappointing	Not tolerated / focus on continuous improvement	Operational efficiency / surprised by failures	collateral damage??
Market action	make things tradeable	Gambling / driven by gut	Exploring a “found” value	Market analysis / listening to customers	Metric Driven / Build what is needed	operate under public regulation
Efficiency	Increase the level of trust?	Reducing the cost of change	Reducing the cost of waste	Reducing the cost of waste	Reducing the cost of deviation	Reduce the level of inequity
Decision drivers	Personal principles	Heritage / culture	Analysis & synthesis	Analysis & synthesis	Previous experience

Takeaways

Many work to be done on this one.

For the suggestions provided, I will add notes here:
