About ThreadForge

What it is

ThreadForge practises multi-causal thinking on real events. You pull the five kinds of thread — the Spark (trigger), the Slow cause, the Hidden cause, Chance, and the part People played — spot the one detail that is not a cause, weigh the threads, and say what it happened mostly because of.

Why “mostly”

Many causes does not mean all causes are equal. Asking which mattered most keeps the thinking honest and makes it an argument you can defend with evidence.

Honest about the facts

The events are real and the facts are hedged the way historians and scientists hedge them. Where experts disagree, ThreadForge says so.

A note for grown-ups

ThreadForge is Developmental (FEDC-informed) — informed by the functional-emotional developmental-capacities tradition of thinking about individual differences and relationships. All the words here are our own; ThreadForge is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any organization or program in that tradition. It is a conversation starter, not an assessment, a diagnosis, or therapy.
