The diagnostic

Findings, and what we did about them.

Confluence produces research, but a diagnostic that ends in a PDF has not finished its job. Every publication here is tied to a design intervention, a convening, or a product.

Commission work

If the paper you need does not exist, that is usually the finding.

Confluence takes commissioned diagnostics from ministries, institutions, employer bodies, and funders.
