The Matrix
A Client-Facing Framework
The Clarent Matrix is the client-facing framework used to organize thinking throughout the engagement.
The Matrix is simple by design. Its purpose is not complexity, but clarity.
1
Context
What is happening — the facts, circumstances, and current state.
2
Perspective
How it is being seen — the lens, assumptions, and interpretation.
3
Choices
What options exist — the real alternatives available.
4
Alignment
What fits best — evaluated against values, direction, and priorities.
5
Ownership
What is chosen — the decision made with intention and clarity.
