Triggers

Triggers initiate the Strategic Response Model by representing a change in context, observation, or external condition that warrants attention. Each Trigger may lead to one or more Rationales, each providing a specific justification for change. Triggers ensure that organisational decisions are not made in a vacuum, but are grounded in evidence or obligation.See: Strategic Response Model

...

• Trigger is a supporting artifact, not a domain.

• It is only relevant in the context of a strategicResponseModel.

Trigger Catalogue

Triggers are classified using the Trigger Catalogue, which defines accepted types of triggers.

...

• triggerID: Unique identifier

• title: Human-readable label

• description: Detailed summary

• triggerType: From the Trigger Catalogue

• dateDetected: Date the trigger was recognised

Linking to Rationales

Triggers can lead to multiple Rationales. Each Rationale references the originating trigger and justifies a different response path. This many-to-one structure allows a single trigger to influence several domains.

See Examples of Trigger and Rationale links for reference cases.
