• Staff reflections identify partner skills, knowledge, and dispositions that support full participation in Collaborative Innovation — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Evaluator staff capacities centered on creating conditions for participation rather than technical control — related
• Knowledge alone did not ensure meaningful participation; it became influential when clearly communicated and built into programming — related
