MAPKAI / FRAMEWORK ATLAS
Thinking Frameworks
See the problem. Organize your thinking.
Explore frameworks grounded in original research and foundational books, then put them to work.
Start with a story, then explore the diagrams. Choose a category above or search directly.
How to use this framework library
Define the problem, then choose a framework by purpose. Follow the relationships in the diagram and check When to use it for a fit with your situation.
Each diagram names its author or institution and links to the bibliography. Simplified sketches retain the main structure; MapKAI syntheses and explanatory sketches interpret the cited literature.
Apply the framework using your own facts, assumptions and evidence. Author, date and edition details support further reading and verification.
