The four pillars.

Discernment about a particular tech use breaks into four questions — two upstream (what we bring), two downstream (what it does); two on the human side, two on the artifact side. Reading clockwise from top-left: why we engage, what we engage, where it points, what it forms.

Tap any pillar to read its long-form.

At the center of the four — where the axes meet — sits the pocket question: foretaste of Jesus, or counterfeit? Each pillar approaches that question from one of four angles. Together they make the diagnostic, but each one is also a discipline in its own right.
