20. SCOPE: visualise (only) key interaction in relation to a specific aim, i.e. how the concept help achieve a given sustainability criteria WHAT IS: a clipping from an interaction story-board. It covers less and focuses better than a storyboard 7. SUSTAINABILITYI NTERACTION STORY-SPOT

21. WHAT IT CONSISTS OF: it is a graphical representation containing: > the sequence of slides accompanied with short texts , representing (in time) the key interactions of the solution > differentiated colors to identify each stakeholder (e.g. provider and client) > notes to highlight main achieved sustainability criteria 7.
