CÂU HỎI
Why is housing unaffordable in our cities?
Phòng hồ sơ công khai. Các thẻ của phòng là những nhận định mọi người đã nêu trong thảo luận công khai; mỗi nhận định được nói ở đâu được liệt kê trong kho chung, dưới nhận định đó. Một hội đồng mô hình ngôn ngữ đã làm rõ các thẻ và đánh giá các cặp: bản đồ này là cách các mô hình cấu trúc điều công chúng nói, không phải điều một nhóm người đã tìm ra. Phòng chỉ được tính cùng các phòng hồ sơ công khai khác. Nghiên cứu liên quan: nói cho một mô hình biết nó là ai, và các phán đoán nhân quả của nó hầu như không đổi, vì thế hội đồng này đánh giá với tư cách chính nó, không có nhân vật giả định.
Liên kết được nêu trong thảo luận công khai (1)
Theo cách kho chung đã đếm: ai nêu một liên kết, ai bác bỏ nó. Hãy so với bản đồ của hội đồng; cả hai đều không phải phán quyết của một nhóm.

Mỗi ý một nhãn, tổng cộng 5. Tối thiểu là một phiếu.
Có 5 chỗ dành riêng cho các ý bị bỏ sót — đề cử một ý kèm một đường dẫn, và đề cử được tính khi 2 người đồng ý rằng nguồn đó liên quan.
vì sao
Khi giai đoạn kết thúc, một ý được đề cử vào bằng bốc thăm ngẫu nhiên và các ý còn lại theo số lượt đề cử, mỗi thành phần liên quan tối đa một ý. Mô hình chỉ kiểm tra trang có nói về cùng chủ đề hay không — không bao giờ kiểm tra nó có chứng minh được nhận định hay không. Việc đánh giá đó là của cả phòng, và một đề cử không có ai khác ủng hộ thì không được chỗ.
