Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://cornerstone-indicators.gitbook.io/ci-process/cornerstone-communities/preparation.md). # Preparation *** ## Step one Think carefully about the need you are addressing or the outcome that you hope to measure. For example, are you most interested in exploring people’s views or is the need a more defined measure such as how to prioritise local investment? Spending some time thinking this through will help to direct the framing for the workshops. This will also inform who will later be responsible for monitoring the final indicators. *** ## Step two Socialise the project with your community and invite potential participants to the first workshop. We have included some templates for an [invitation ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HlaTgqkHz2bblS0yj9r4O87a4fbFXvWu_ZhCW1Hip3E/edit)and [flyer ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/11c-ENtJEcakEvkNsLq9OBJ45cpjPGpDqCcCxZbdcHc0/edit)that you can adapt. *** ## Step three Invite people to complete a [questionnaire](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GzrC7yJbMxL4MCuznT8_pMhqzcxBw1BGyqpZQfg3bMw/edit). We used [Typeform](https://www.typeform.com/try/typeformbrand/?gclsrc=aw.ds&\&tf_campaign=UK-Brand-Core-English-Combined_18008307824\&tf_source=google\&tf_medium=paid\&tf_content=167259836855_712150816254\&tf_term=typeform\&tf_dv=c\&tf_matchtype=e\&tf_location=1006834\&gad_source=1\&gclid=CjwKCAjw6JS3BhBAEiwAO9waF0FX5SEFqhUUCInnkA5eb8dEstdEE50BtBCqUIsG08sJewAjBLd-TBoCYLMQAvD_BwE\&gclsrc=aw.ds) to collect responses in the existing case studies but we have also included a downloadable written version. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cornerstone-indicators.gitbook.io/ci-process/cornerstone-communities/preparation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
