The first phase used Miro for horizon scanning, identifying trends and uncertainties, and constructing four contrasting pre-detection scenarios. The second phase combined asynchronous work with activities during the inaugural [https://sites.google.com/view/pd-futures/home Post-Detection Futures] meeting (St Andrews, 2025), working to generate a set of detection situations that could be randomly combined  for use in workshops or simulations.

The fully developed toolkit .PDF will provide practical resources, including scenarios, templates, and interactive methods, as well as guidance on how to adapt and use them. The structured resource combines '''[[Pre-detection Scenarios|pre-detection scenarios]]''' and a growing archive of '''[[Post-detection Situations|post-detection situations]]'''.

The Toolkit is designed like a recipe book that makes futures thinking accessible through storytelling, roleplay, and collaborative exercises. The resource lists ingredients, and to come to life it relies on facilitators and participants. By adapting and combining the Toolkit elements in context, communities can explore varied futures after a SETI detection, and consider how they might feel, act, and respond in unfamiliar or unprecedented situations.

The fully developed toolkit .PDF will provide practical resources, including scenarios, templates, and interactive methods, as well as guidance on how to adapt and use them. The structured resource combines '''[[Pre-detection Scenarios|pre-detection scenarios]]''' and a growing archive of '''[[Post-detection Situations|post-detection situations]]'''. The 4 '''[[Pre-detection Scenarios|pre-detection scenarios]]''' have been designed across the last years, but the '''[[Pre-detection Scenarios|pre-detection scenarios]]''' are open to continuous contribution and strive for a diverse collection as possible.
 
Important note: The resource lists ingredients, but to come to life it needs and relies on the improvisation of facilitators and participants. The Toolkit elements need to be adapted and combined with specific contexts through group work. Communities bring their own contexts to the exploration of varied futures of a technosignature detection, and consider how they might feel, act, and respond in unfamiliar or unprecedented situations. This is human work that can't be done alone.
