Right. The primary goal is transformative instead of just deliberative or generative : people feel agency because they can help set the agenda—owning a stake in the policy outcome. You only need this when the relationship is frayed. If the government already enjoys high approval, you don’t seek to transform the relationship; you keep it resilient, not disruptive. That’s why this model works best in “warmer” times—moments of urgency that motivate everyone to invest in horizontal trust.
