Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Partners and staff could hold relevant knowledge without it producing shared decision-making; knowledge mattered more when clearly communicated and applied through the work. → Latia P. White 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative finding from staff reflections across Collaborative Innovation projects. The report states "Knowledge alone, however, did not ensure meaningful participation"; partners could understand constituent engagement without moving from gathering input to shared decision-making.
"Knowledge became more influential when it was clearly communicated, built into programming, and applied through problem definition, interpretation, planning, design, and decision-making."

Related Claims¶
- Staff reflections identify partner skills, knowledge, and dispositions that support full participation in Collaborative Innovation — related
- Dispositions such as openness and shared responsibility are shaped by conditions, not fixed individual traits — related
- Deeper co-leadership emerges when staff support lets partners progressively take on responsibility, but recedes when staff carry the process — related
- Evaluator staff capacities centered on creating conditions for participation rather than technical control — related
- Governance structures that exclude faculty and support staff responsible for implementation produce policies that do not stick — related
- Partners in participatory evaluation demonstrated capacities in data engagement, contextual and pedagogical knowledge, and openness and improvement-oriented dispositions — related
