- Learning modes, application, coaching, evidence, and refinement are co-designed.
- Ownership, communication, resourcing, and review are explicit.

REFLECTION PROMPTS
- Where could co-creation become symbolic consultation?
- What should be common and what should remain differentiated?
- Whose voice is still missing from the design?
EQUITY GUARDRAILS
- Be explicit about nonnegotiables and decision authority.
- Do not invite input after consequential decisions are already fixed.
- Address power differences so disagreement and minority perspectives can shape the design.
