The Romero File

I’m writing a Tinderbox tutorial series about using the Tinderbox map to understand complex and fluid situations. It’s called The Romero File. Each "episode" includes:

• What Happened: some evidence from a small-scale legal case
• How We Map It: a closeup of part of the big Tinderbox map for that case, with a discussion of one facet of the map
• R&D: a sidebar about research issues, either topics for future research (attention graduate students!) or pointers to key studies that should be better known.

Separately, attorney Steve Winnick is taking the fact picture from Romero and describing his own approach to building a Tinderbox map. His first step is Getting a Grip.
