Tap Framework Isle to explore the BST analytical lens. Reading Atoll (v2) and Simulator Cove (v3) unlock as the demo grows.
The BST Lens
The Behavioural Science Team embeds choice architecture into government decision-making — working only the forward-looking, cross-cutting problems that no entity owns yet. This is that method, made walkable.
Source: work/bst-mission.md (Final v1.1). The same lens powers the bst-analyst Claude Code subagent.
0 · Scope Gate — is it ours?
Before designing anything, BST checks whether a problem is in its lane. Where an entity already owns a mandate and a KPI, that is their lane (or BSG's). BST takes the gaps between mandates.
Answer the four checks to see the verdict.
1 · The Stage Arc
Swipe the stages →
Working stage arc — presented on the V1 mandate slide alongside the SG-approved mandate, but the arc itself was not formally approved by the SG. Treat it as BST's working method.
2 · Lanes & Mandate
Lane 1 — Transformative Policy Design
Look ahead and design transformative policies where regulation, information, and financial incentives have proven insufficient.
Paper Cuts the accumulation of minor CX frustrations that fall through the cracks — death by a thousand cuts.
Capability Building behavioural-science literacy for policy teams (discipline-specific method, not leadership training).
Lane 2 — Senior Advisory
Advise senior officials to guide decision-making with behavioural science.
Aspiration append a behavioural-science lens to HH meeting briefs. Format, cadence, and ownership not yet operationalised.
SG-Approved Mandate
Embed choice architecture & behavioural methods into decision-making and policy design, at the centre and across entities.
Develop public-service capacity in behavioural insights.
Partner with entities to co-develop policy from the resident's point of view.
Encourage user-centred policy design — test alternative options.
Run randomised controlled trials with public-sector and research partners.
Strengthen government's role as effective choice architects.
Strategy Review Methodology
Read each sector's foundational strategy.
Identify the initiatives already in motion.
Flag the behavioural, cross-cutting gaps with no current owner.
Feed gaps to the team workshop — ideate interventions only BST can deliver.

bst-analyst — the lens as an agent
This island visualises the method. The bst-analyst subagent applies it. Hand it a proposed policy and it runs the Scope Gate, then Target → Explore → Solution → Trial → Scale, and returns a predicted behavioural response — every claim traced to the mission file. Maximum-effort posture, no shortcuts.
