Summary This effort follows from work in progress that supports the Warrior Technology Tradespace Methodology. In short, that work employs David Snowden's proprietary software to develop a means of collecting and analyzing narratives from soldiers who have been involved with newly fielded equipment. Soldiers have recounted their experience with new equipment by conveying their stories which they then amplify to extract meaning and an in-depth analysis. This is a novel approach: rather than answering surveys that might demonstrate investigator bias, the soldier narratives constitute a form of pre-hypothesis data gathering.
