Description
A scan, scenario set, strategy, roadmap and monitoring report support different decisions.
A scan, scenario set, strategy, roadmap and monitoring report support different decisions. Format, audience and cadence should follow the purpose of the deliverable.1
The returned values include Primary audience, Review cadence, Decision link, Foresight deliverable type, Report format. The How section below explains the calculation, input rules and interpretation.

How to use Foresight Deliverable Types Report Formats Lookup and understand its results
- Define the question, evidence and scenario assumptions first. Supply the chosen score scales, time horizons or reference selection explicitly. Interpret generated text as a discussion template and screen labels as the stated rules.
- Enter deliverableType using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read audience, cadence, decisionLink, deliverableType, format. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| deliverableType | Foresight deliverable type | string; one of "scan", "scenarios", "strategy", "roadmap", "monitoring" | Required |
Choose the exact enum value or supported integer in the input table and run the lookup. The tool indexes its embedded table, returns the fields shown below and copies list fields where applicable. All supported selections and their actual returned entries are included below. It performs no network request, project measurement or forecast inference.
| Selection | Returned reference entry |
|---|---|
| scan | audience: Strategy and research teams; cadence: Monthly, quarterly, or semiannual; decisionLink: Choose which weak signals deserve investigation; deliverableType: scan; format: Horizon scan with evidence, alternative explanations, and signposts |
| scenarios | audience: Strategy, risk, and decision teams; cadence: At material uncertainty or when assumptions change; decisionLink: Stress-test strategy under coherent alternative conditions; deliverableType: scenarios; format: Scenario set with drivers, coherence checks, signposts, and implications |
| strategy | audience: Senior decision makers and delivery owners; cadence: At strategy reviews and major inflection points; decisionLink: Choose options, no-regret moves, triggers, and resource allocations; deliverableType: strategy; format: Strategic choice brief with options, trade-offs, robustness, and actions |
| roadmap | audience: Delivery, finance, and governance teams; cadence: Quarterly; decisionLink: Sequence investments and capacity commitments; deliverableType: roadmap; format: Outcome roadmap with dependencies, assumptions, and no-regret actions |
| monitoring | audience: Decision owners and delivery teams; cadence: Monthly or when a threshold changes; decisionLink: Continue, adapt, pause, or stop the current action; deliverableType: monitoring; format: Indicator dashboard with signposts, thresholds, owners, and response triggers |
exact selection → fixed embedded reference entry Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

}Limitations and assumptions
This is a concise teaching reference. Verify original publications, context and applicable editions before relying on it; it is not a complete framework or an authoritative evaluation.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing fields without a declared default, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Horizon Scanning Team Cadence Report Template: A horizon-scanning meeting needs areas, horizons and a review cadence. A template can organize that work before any signals are collected. For a complementary task, use Anticipatory Governance Feedback Loop Lookup: Anticipatory governance links sensing, analysis, deliberation, action and review. Each stage needs an action, artifact and responsible role to connect future signals with decisions.
