With Dot-mocrazy, a very simple methodology was developed to cluster the large inventory of ideas very easily after the first rounds of ideation and thus separate the wheat from the chaff.
The word or rather the term is divided into “Tot”, meaning point, and “mocrazy” as an abbreviation for democracy. In short the method can be translated as “democratic scoring”.
Basically, the dot-mocrazy can be assigned to the group of scaling techniques.
The ideas are divided into three groups: TOP ideas, OK ideas and OUT ideas. By providing clear guidelines on how to get to the selectable TOP ideas, a strong idea selection is achieved. However, you have to be a little more sensitive when distinguishing between OK ideas and OUT ideas, because OUT ideas are not intended to be revisited within the method, whereas OK ideas are to be looked at again.
So overall, if executed appropriately, you get a simple and transparent overview of the status of ideas through a quick and easy evaluation round.
