00 Frameworks

Six named tools. The rigor is not a secret.

Every Komselj engagement runs on a proprietary framework, built from the field and scored, not vibed. These are the instruments behind every workbook, workshop, audit, and retainer.

F / 01 · Meta-framework · Both audiences

The Implementation Gap

The distance between what you say you do and what the people you serve experience — quantified, mapped, closed. Every other framework feeds into this one.

F / 02 · 6 dimensions · Nonprofit

The Dignity Ledger

A storytelling audit across six dimensions — Agency, Specificity, Consent, Context, Complexity, Continuity. Catches the moments your communications quietly trade beneficiary dignity for donor comfort.

F / 03 · 8 axes, bilateral · Both audiences

The Alignment Compass

An eight-axis fit test, run on both sides of the table with the same instrument. Where the lines diverge is where the partnership will fail.

F / 04 · 5 rungs · Nonprofit

The Consent Ladder

Five rungs — Permission, Informed, Ongoing, Co-creation, Authorship. A practical instrument for what consent actually means when a story leaves the village.

F / 05 · 6 tests · Both audiences

The Proximity Index

A positioning manifesto plus six-test audit — Origin, Voice, Resolution, Loop speed, Decision weight, Cost honesty. The markers of whether your organisation is close to the people it claims to serve.

F / 06 · 7 stages · Nonprofit

The Raise

A seven-stage major-donor pitch methodology — venture-capital discipline adapted, carefully, for the very different physics of philanthropic capital.

See a framework run live.

Every workshop puts one of these instruments in your hands for two hours or two days. Or start with a free audit to see one scored against your own work.
