Bring your method to AI-assisted facilitation.

For the people who create and steward facilitation methods and protocols. Work with us to define what must stay true, turn the method into a Harmonica template, and review how it works in practice.

The Delphi method

A panel of experts revisits a question over successive rounds.

  1. Independent judgement

    Experts give their own answers without seeing each other’s responses.

  2. Feedback and reconsideration

    An anonymised summary shows the group’s range of judgements. Each expert can revise or hold their earlier answer.

  3. Convergence and disagreement

    The final report shows where views have converged and where disagreement remains.

What to verify: Do access controls, summaries and round handoffs preserve those conditions?

OFL’s draft Delphi specification · Awaiting practitioner review.

Your method carries more than a set of prompts.

Its value may live in the order of activities, who takes part, what people can see, or how a group reaches a decision. An AI adaptation needs to account for those choices.

We want to work with the people who know why those choices matter. Together, we can make the requirements explicit, distinguish them from product preferences, and review evidence about the adaptation.

Conformance, in plain language.

Does the adaptation follow the requirements that matter? The OFL Conformance Model helps separate four questions.

What makes this your method?

The essentials

The stages, roles and conditions that make a process recognisable as the method. These requirements belong with the method and its stewards.

How does the facilitator converse?

The interaction

Choices such as how to ask a question or confirm an interpretation. Useful conversational habits are distinct from the method’s essential requirements.

Does the process work as intended?

The implementation

How the software handles context, tools, access and handoffs. These details matter as much as the words the AI uses.

Did it help the people taking part?

The outcome

Participant experience and useful results need their own evidence. Following a specification alone does not answer this question.

A useful report names the requirements, the version checked, the available evidence and what remains unverified. Steward or practitioner review is recorded separately from a product’s own checks.

Read OFL’s Conformance Model

A method partnership starts with the practice.

Start with a specific use, a workable pilot and a shared view of how each side benefits.

  1. Start with the practice

    Bring the method, its sources and the situations it is meant for. Identify the essentials, the room for adaptation, and the attribution and permissions needed.

  2. Shape a pilot template

    Work through the stages, participant roles and outputs. Make the requirements explicit and agree which examples and checks would be useful to review.

  3. Review it in use

    Try a bounded pilot, examine what happened and hear from the people involved. Use that evidence to improve the template and decide what comes next.

Built alongside an open facilitation commons.

Harmonica contributes to the Open Facilitation Library (OFL): open work on describing facilitation methods and examining how AI systems put them into practice.

OFL is supported by Mozilla Foundation’s Democracy x AI Incubator. Mozilla’s public cohort description identifies the Metagov-led project and Harmonica’s involvement.

OFL’s method-spec registry describes Harmonica as a reference runtime. A portable description of a method and the evidence about one implementation are maintained separately.

A commercial model we’re shaping together.

We are exploring a marketplace for method-based templates, including revenue-sharing arrangements with authors and stewards.

The model is still being shaped through conversations with authors and stewards. Availability, pricing and terms are not final.

For a pilot, we would agree the scope, rights, attribution and how each side benefits. These commercial discussions are Harmonica’s own work; OFL provides the open methodological foundations.

Questions about bringing a method

The practical questions we should settle together.

Get Support
Who is this for?
People who create facilitation methods or protocols, and the individuals, communities or organisations entrusted with maintaining them. You may have an established practice or a method you are still developing.
Does a conformance check mean a method is certified?
No. The Conformance Model describes which requirements a particular implementation was checked against, using which evidence. It does not by itself establish author endorsement, certification or useful outcomes. Those need their own review and evidence.
What happens to the method’s rights and attribution?
These are part of the conversation before anything is published. Source material, trademarks and template content can carry different permissions. OFL’s open infrastructure does not make every method freely reusable or give Harmonica permission to publish it.
Can authors earn revenue from templates?
We are exploring a marketplace for method-based templates and revenue-sharing arrangements with authors and stewards. The model is still being developed. Availability, pricing, revenue shares and payout terms are not final; a pilot’s scope and commercial arrangement need to be agreed together.
Can I use Harmonica with a method I already practise?
Yes. You can also explore Harmonica for consultants. This page is an invitation to discuss the method itself: its adaptation, review, stewardship and possible distribution.

What would a useful first pilot look like?

Bring the method you care about, who it is for, and the parts an adaptation needs to get right.
