Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Blind Holy Spirit Decision-Making Matrix in Coda
1. Define Categories and Criteria
Start by defining the categories and criteria for the decisions you need to make. These could include:
?? What about specific or guidance/solutions needed for normal issues? Each category should have specific criteria that are important for your organization.
2. Create Tables in Coda
Set up separate tables in Coda for each category. Here’s how you can structure them:
Spiritual Insight (Blind) Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected) Spiritual Insight (Blind) Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected) Spiritual Insight (Blind) Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected) Spiritual Insight (Blind) Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected) Spiritual Insight (Blind) Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected) 3. Implement the Blind Review Process
Create a form or use the “Form View” in Coda to collect spiritual insights. Ensure that the form does not display any identifying information about the project, person, or proposal. The form can include fields like:
Spiritual Insight/Impression: A text field where intercessors can write what they feel led by the Holy Spirit. Rating: A numerical rating field to quantify the spiritual insight. The submitted form responses will populate the respective tables.
Ensure the form or "Form View" in Coda includes fields to capture the anatomy and responses to the questions for each category.
Anatomy and Questions for Each Category
People Table
Anatomy:
Identity: Who God says they are. Assets: What they carry, what's in their tool belt. Foretelling: Insights into the future. Actionable Intel: Actions they can take to co-labor. Scriptural Intelligence: Promises, hope, or strategies anchored in the Word of God. Blind Method Questions:
What do they carry? (gifts, skills, unique qualities) What sphere do they influence? (Church, govt, etc.) What is God saying about the future of this person? Informed Method Questions:
Projects Table
Anatomy:
Identity: Core essence of the project. Assets: Resources and strengths. Foretelling: Potential future impact. Actionable Intel: Steps to enhance the project. Scriptural Intelligence: Biblical principles guiding the project. Blind Method Questions:
Describe the project's core essence. What resources and strengths does it have? Which sphere will it impact? Why is this project significant? What is God saying about the future of this project? Informed Method Questions:
Key resources and strengths. Purpose and significance. Future potential and guidance. Partners Table
Anatomy:
Identity: Role and mission. Assets: Capabilities and contributions. Foretelling: Future collaboration potential. Actionable Intel: Steps to strengthen partnership. Scriptural Intelligence: Biblical alignment and support. Blind Method Questions:
Describe their role and mission. What capabilities and contributions do they bring? What sphere will they influence? Why is this partnership important? What is God saying about the future of this partnership? Informed Method Questions:
Partner's mission and vision. Key capabilities and contributions. Purpose of the partnership. Future collaboration insights. Planning Table
Anatomy:
Identity: Core objectives. Assets: Resources and strategies. Foretelling: Future outcomes. Actionable Intel: Steps to optimize planning. Scriptural Intelligence: Biblical strategies and principles. Blind Method Questions:
Describe the core objectives. What resources and strategies are available? What sphere will the plan impact? Why is this plan essential? What is God saying about the future of this plan? Informed Method Questions:
Key resources and strategies. Future outcomes and guidance. Proceeds Table
Anatomy:
Identity: Financial purpose and goals. Assets: Financial strengths and resources. Foretelling: Future financial impact. Actionable Intel: Steps to enhance financial health. Scriptural Intelligence: Biblical financial principles. Blind Method Questions:
Describe the financial purpose and goals. What are the financial strengths and resources? Which areas will be financially impacted? Why are these proceeds significant? What is God saying about the future financial health? Informed Method Questions:
Financial goals and objectives. Key financial strengths and resources. Significance of financial plans. Future financial insights. Implementing in Coda
Tables and Forms Setup
Create Tables: Set up tables for People, Projects, Partners, Planning, and Proceeds, including columns for each aspect of the anatomy and fields for both blind and informed methods. Forms: Create forms to collect data for each category. Ensure that the forms are anonymous for the blind method. AI Analysis: Add a column for AI analysis to summarize themes and insights. Example People Table in Coda
Automating the Process
Automations: Set up Coda automations to trigger AI analysis and populate the AI Analysis Summary column when new data is added. Dashboard: Create a dashboard to display the summarized insights, aggregated scores, and statuses for leadership review. By integrating the Anatomy of Spiritual Intelligence Input and setting up a structured, automated system in Coda, you ensure a thorough and spiritually grounded decision-making process.
4. Aggregate and Score the Insights
Once the spiritual insights are collected, aggregate the data in the tables. Create formulas in Coda to calculate average scores or aggregate ratings. For instance, you can use Coda’s formula feature to compute:
coda
Copy code
Average([Spiritual Insight Rating])
5. Integrate AI for Theme Analysis
Collect Feedback: Ensure all spiritual insights are collected in a structured format within your tables. For example: Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Use Coda’s AI to Analyze Feedback: Use Coda’s AI features to analyze the text for common themes and patterns. In Coda, you can add a button or automation to run this analysis. Here’s how you can set it up: Create a New Column for Analysis: Add a column called "AI Analysis" in your tables. AI Formula: Use Coda's AI formula to analyze the feedback. For example: coda
Copy code
AI("Summarize the common themes and insights from the following feedback: " + thisRow.[Spiritual Insight (Blind)])
Automate the Analysis: Set up an automation in Coda to run the AI analysis at a specific time or when new feedback is added. This ensures that the themes and summaries are updated automatically. 6. Create a Dashboard for Leadership Review
Aggregate AI Summaries: In your dashboard, create a section that aggregates these AI-generated summaries. For instance: Dashboard Views: Ensure your dashboard includes these AI summaries alongside the aggregated scores and statuses. Example Coda Structure with AI Analysis
Projects Table Example
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Dashboard Example
Average Project Scores: Projects (8.8), People (8.7), Partners (9.0), Planning (8.5), Proceeds (8.3) Strong alignment with mission Project feels anointed and Spirit-led Hesitance and lack of clarity Potential but needs more direction Decision Status: Project A (Pending), Project B (Approved) Automating the Process in Coda
Set Up Automation: In Coda, navigate to Automations and create a new automation to run the AI analysis whenever new feedback is added. Configure Automation Steps: Trigger: When a new row is added or updated in the feedback table. Action: Run the AI analysis formula and update the "AI Analysis" column. Test and Refine: Test the automation to ensure it works as expected. Refine the AI prompts and formulas as needed to get accurate and useful summaries.
5. Create a Dashboard for Leadership Review Design a dashboard in Coda that pulls together the aggregated scores and insights from all categories. This dashboard can have:
Summary Views: High-level summaries of each category with average scores and statuses. Detailed Views: Links to the detailed tables for each category. 7. Facilitate Leadership Review
The leadership team can then review the aggregated insights and scores without knowing the detailed background information. Decisions can be made based on the spiritual insights first. Once decisions are made, you can reveal the detailed information for practical considerations and implementation.
Example Coda Structure
Projects Table Example
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Spiritual Insight Form Example
Spiritual Insight/Impression: "I feel a strong sense of peace and alignment with this project." Dashboard Example
Average Project Scores: Projects (8.8), People (8.7), Partners (9.0), Planning (8.5), Proceeds (8.3) Decision Status: Project A (Pending), Project B (Approved) By structuring your decision-making matrix in this way, you ensure that spiritual insights are prioritized and that decisions are made with a balance of spiritual discernment and practical wisdom.
