During the session itself, shaping and process sometimes follows the pre-determined course, and sometimes takes its own "emergent" direction. Not a judgement on the quality of the direction, just a characterization one way or the other. |

| Multiplicity/heterogeneity of focus aspects |
| Shaping Analysis |
How much/many different aspects did practitioners have to deal with Ð participants, maps, text, subject matter, surroundings, process. This is assessed based on the grid analysis. So for the Ames and Rutgers sessions it is just for the sensemaking episodes, while for the Mobile Agents sessions it's the whole session. Calculated based on number of x's in the grid analysis focus section divided by number of rows with x's. |

This is assessed based on the grid analysis. So for the Amessessions it is just for the sensemaking episodes, while for the Mobile Agents sessions it's the whole session. Rutgers had Camtasia issues so there are no move counts since screen recordings are unavailable. Calculated based on number of different move types in the grid analysis divided by number of total number of moves. |
