here's what the world could look like Ameliorate is a collaborative problem-solving tool that aims to make this a reality.
It helps you break down complex problems into clear pieces so that multiple people can inspect assumptions, clarify disagreement, and integrate knowledge - without talking past each other.
Break things down
Lay out causes and effects, showing exactly how situations can be improved. This creates a concrete visual in which discussion can be grounded.
Each individual detail invites scrutiny in a structured manner. Anything can be scored, justified, questioned, have relevant facts, and more.

Using your diagram
Once you've got your diagram, there are a few different ways you can use it.
Grasp your own thoughts
Lay out your ideas with all of their nuance to better think through a problem and make better decisions for yourself.
Solicit feedback
Send out your diagram for others to leave their feedback on - their questions, suggestions, concerns, and opinions.
Guide discussion
Bring your diagram to a meeting to make it easy to keep the discussion focused, knowing precisely where disagreements or uncertainties lie.
Bring others up-to-speed
Present your diagram or let others click around at their own pace to efficiently catch up about the current state of a problem or solution.
Re-visit reasoning
When new information is discovered, update an old diagram and reconsider it anew.
Create decision transparency
Leave behind a scored diagram after a decision is made, as an explanation of why the decision was the way it was.
