The Seven Lenses
Script
SocialStory
Sync
Sense Scenario
Structure
Our proprietary framework
Story: What do people
say? What do they not
say? How do they justify
their choices?Script: What are the habits? How could these be
strengthened/ disrupted?
Which other scripts could be mimicked/leveraged?
Social: What are others
doing? Are they aware of
this? What form
does/could this awareness take?Sense:
What are the stimuli? How/are they
perceived? How does this affect
their experience/choices?
Structure: Which choices are
presented? How are they
framed? What is the
rationale for the order/defaults?
Scenario: Which external or
emotional/personal factors could feature?
Is there scope to modify/personalise?
Sync: What are our own
biases? Have we tested our
assumptions? Have we missed alternative contexts?
