| Participation | The inquiry needs relevant voices, while access, language, hierarchy, time, and safety can limit meaningful contribution. |
| Common ground | Shared understanding can support joint work, while common wording can conceal opposed claims. |
| Challenge | Claims should be open to examination, while criticism can be socially costly or become personal conflict. |
| Closure | A usable return is needed, while unresolved dissent may materially constrain it. |
| Attribution | Readers need to know whose claim is carried, while confidentiality and representation limits constrain disclosure. |
