LeverageMap

LeverageMap is a web app (with optional desktop wrapper) for teams working on complex systems—operations, product growth, policy, sustainability, or org design—who keep drowning in initiatives. Users model a system as a lightweight causal loop diagram: variables, links, delays, and feedback loops. The app then helps rank potential interventions using a structured rubric based on leverage-point thinking (e.g., parameters vs. information flows vs. rules vs. goals), expected impact, reversibility, cost, and political/organizational feasibility. It produces a prioritized “intervention slate,” shows which loops each action affects, and tracks real-world metrics to validate whether the supposed leverage point actually moved outcomes. It’s not a simulator that pretends to predict the future; it’s a decision-support tool that forces clarity, exposes assumptions, and creates an audit trail of why you chose an intervention and what happened after.
