SUPPORTED METHOD / APPLICATION ALIGNMENT
TAIDA structures the work. Intertween preserves the knowledge journey.
#FORESIGHT_ACTION_PROFILE
TAIDA guides people from environmental scanning to action. The protocol can keep the knowledge produced across those stages addressable, traceable, rights-aware and reusable.
A method remains distinct from its infrastructure.
TAIDA is an established foresight and scenario-planning method developed by Kairos Future. The protocol does not replace, reproduce or redefine the method. It supplies a proposed knowledge contract around the process so observations, assumptions, scenarios, decisions, activities and outcomes can remain connected.
From environmental signal to returned learning.

Intertween extends continuity, not ownership.
TAIDA guides how people scan, interpret, imagine, decide and act. The protocol adds provenance, epistemic status, policy, version history and returned learning between those stages. A TAIDA process can use the protocol without becoming an intertween method, and a protocol implementation can support other methods through the same object contract.
