About the Community Dispute Protocol Builder
This is an early-stage experiment and should be used with caution! Please share your feedback with the Media Economies Design Lab.
The CommunityDispute Protocol Builder is a tool designed to help communities develop customized frameworks for addressing and resolving conflicts. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution, this tool empowers communities to create protocols that reflect their unique values, culture, and specific needs.
How the Builder Works
The Protocol Builder guides you through creating a dispute resolution system using a modular approach:
1. Start from Templates or Build from Scratch
Begin with one of our pre-designed templates based on restorative justice, transformative justice, or consensus-based approaches—or start with a blank slate and build your own custom protocol.
2. Customize Each Stage
The builder walks you through six key stages of dispute resolution:
- Preparation: Establishing core values, principles, and participant roles
- Initiation: Defining how disputes are raised, acknowledged, and entered into the process
- Exploration: Investigating and understanding the facts, perspectives, and underlying needs
- Deliberation: Discussing potential solutions and working toward agreements
- Resolution: Finalizing, documenting, and implementing solutions
- Follow-up: Evaluating outcomes, ensuring accountability, and making improvements
3. Export and Share
When your protocol is complete, export it as:
- A formatted PDF to share with your community
- A Markdown document for easy editing and version control
- A JSON file that can be imported back into the builder for future updates
