Branch: Branch 4: Principled Research & Liberatory Social Accounting (LSA)  |  Print / QR Short Link: abcfed.org/METHOD-RES-001
Front-Loaded Field Procedure (Low-Barrier Station Guide)
1. Inputs & Prerequisites:
Shared neighborhood concern or question; CARE informed-consent script; CRP Research Study & Observation Log templates.
2. Actionable Steps:
1. Co-define the research question and desired Means of Liberation with directly affected community members.
2. Conduct low-barrier listening sessions, participatory mapping, or structured field observations.
3. Convene an open Analysis Session to synthesize findings, update Demonstrable Progress Markers (DPMs), and propose concrete Principled Actions.
3. Outputs & MoL Consolidated:
Published Field Report or Analysis Session synthesis in CRP and updated project NoCs.

1. Purpose & Solidarity Baseline

METHOD-RES-001 ensures that every collective project begins by listening to and analyzing material reality alongside neighbors — practicing solidarity rather than charity.

2. Field Execution Steps

  1. Collaborative Framing: Meet with neighbors to frame the inquiry around concrete material bottlenecks and power relations.
  2. Situated Data Gathering: Pair collective researchers with community volunteers to record observations without extracting personally identifiable surveillance data.
  3. Dialectical Synthesis: Feed findings directly into the next Catalytic Cycle’s Capacity Dialogue and refine existing METHOD-* procedures in place.
