Source: Adapted from van der Ven et al. (2017)

Type of scaling Indicator
Has the intervention
Types of entrenchment Indicator
Did the intervention
Simple Attracted more members, expanded in geographic scope, or accumulated more resources? Lock-in Use mechanisms that gave it immediate durability?
Self-organized Inspired symbiotic interventions? Self-reinforcing Become more difficult to reverse over time?
Positive-feedback Attract non-target members thereby reinforcing the decisions of early adopters?
Modular Been consciously emulated in a different context? Increasing returns Do the benefits to participants from the intervention increase when more participants are brought on board or the longer the intervention is in place?
