BIH Field Notes: What These Frameworks Look Like in the Real World

Field Notes are case studies, application stories, and practical reflections showing how BIH frameworks translate into real decisions and outcomes.

Frameworks are only valuable if they can hold real life: limited budgets, messy timelines, human complexity, competing needs, and power dynamics.

BIH Field Notes is where we show the work in motion.

What Field Notes include

Depending on the season, you’ll find:

• mini case studies (sometimes anonymized)

• “before/after” clarity shifts

• planning breakdowns using BRITE

• decision moments using EQUITHICS

• lessons learned from community work and consulting engagements

• reflections on narrative power, ethical media, and impact learning

Why we publish Field Notes

1. Because people deserve proof, not promises.

2. Because language helps people build.

3. Because transparency is part of integrity.

Field Notes are meant to be practical, not performative.

How to use Field Notes

• If you’re building: borrow the structure

• If you’re stuck: use the questions

• If you’re scaling: pay attention to what changed when complexity increased

• If you’re healing a broken process: study the repair decisions, not just the results
