Second Order Consequences
Surface ripple effects that aren’t obvious at first glance.
How it works
- Each prompt asks for three second-order consequences aimed at a specific stakeholder.
- Submit to load the next prompt — keep cycling until the timer ends or you choose to stop.
- Scores reward creative cascades, insightful detail, and the number of prompts you finish.
Example
Prompt: “List three consequences for disaster relief coordinators in a world where swarms of autonomous boats evacuate coastal towns.”
- Evac plans now include dockless rendezvous zones, forcing new liability rules for private marinas.
- Boats generate real-time heat maps of who boards, so supplies can be pre-shipped to inland shelters.
- Insurance markets build premiums around “boat minutes used,” changing how agencies budget storms.
