Civil society now expects this kind of sense‑making. The U.S. is adopting it too: Bowling Green, Kentucky’s What Could Bowling Green Be? initiative uses the same code (Google Jigsaw sense‑making + Polis) for bridging conversations. Work is underway to roll out similar bridge‑making in all 435 U.S. congressional districts. The goal is to show it’s faster than regular polling, as rigorous, and far more generative — because, while standard polls force you into a few bits (YIMBY vs. NIMBY), deliberative methods are generative, transformative and deliberative.
