Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

Fuzzy cognitive maps are used to explore cause-and-affects relations between the elements that form the mental landscape of a system. At Polygon, fuzzy cognitive maps are used in a solution based on a mixed and participative approach, enabling a group of actors to identify their shared understanding of a complex system, and to explore the potential impacts of possible disturbances, or interventions, on this system.
