The Relational Infrastructure Framework, developed by Nick Norman, is designed to help identify where complex projects face friction before it compounds.
This diagnostic is a demo of the framework in action. It consists of six sample assessment questions to show what the framework looks like applied to a real project. In practice, both the assessment and diagnostic can be customized to any length, built around your specific project and team, and can incorporate branding, internal documentation, data, and more.

The Relational Infrastructure Framework and the diagnostic logic behind it can be built around your specific project, your team, and the institutional context you are working inside. Every pillar, every question, every output can be customized.
If something in these results felt familiar, that is worth paying attention to.
