Problem

  • • An MHPSS-responsible organization faces a consequential decision about a faith-community role
  • • It lacks specific evidence on effectiveness, responsibilities, capacity, or cost
  • • So it cannot decide what to continue, change, fund, or stop

Offer

  • • Agora investigates one consequential decision
  • • Existing evidence and operating arrangements examined with the people involved
  • • Answerable questions resolved; supported recommendation delivered
  • • Requirements, cost assumptions, and a first-test plan where proceeding is justified

Commercial test

  • • Will a named budget holder pay for the answer before knowing whether it recommends a new initiative?
  • • Stop is a paid answer, not a failed engagement
