Feedback from the 2024.04.21 workshop with OpenCivics raised a few ideas about providing users with more context:
Explain more about what standpoint means
Change "description" to being more about "additional context" or the like
Introduce a kind of directionality—what is the point or payoff of doing this?
Additionally, can the analysis section give a health diagnosis of a protocol?
Highlight signals of ill-health
Explore balance

Further thoughts from conversation (2026.04.22) with Danielle Gauthier on this:
Nudge the user toward slowing down, focusing, reflecting
Colorful sentiment visualizations
Focus on power dynamics
Could the bicorder detect harmful dynamics and suggest correlative gradients that could be changed to mitigate?
For instance: "constraining" is often correlated with term x on gradient y. To make the protocol less constraining, try to change the behaviors or design related to y away from x.
