	The Post-Detection Toolkit is a flexible framework for exploring future discoveries, designed to handle uncertainty and highlight the significance of context, governance, and international collaboration. The toolkit uses a four-scenario method (from Dator's futures methods) to intentionally maximise difference between plausible futures.
