Definition
Poles
Each HES element is a spectrum, not a category: the Low and High poles describe how it presents at its two extremes, while the Reference marks the typical, everyday middle. The poles map variation across the range — neither end is inherently better or worse.
Ideas remain conceptual; no deployment or adoption.
Runs experiments, builds prototypes, deploys, secures adoption, and stabilizes the change.
Can deploy with strong support/resources; struggles without them.
