How It Works: The CISAMN Loop
How It Works
The CISAMN Loop
Step 1 of 7
Map
Find the right entry points and routes.
Identify the fastest safe path through institutions (where to start, what to avoid, what to bring). Turn 'the system' into a small set of workable routes.
Output
A clear route + entry point
The CISAMN Loop turns existing resources into completed connections—especially when systems feel hard to approach.
- Map: clarify the path, entry points, and constraints.
- Script: agree on a simple, plain-language plan.
- Attempt: take the next concrete step together.
- Follow up: confirm completion within a defined window.
- Escalate safely: remove one barrier without creating risk.
- Log/Learn: record friction and outcomes for system improvement.
- Close the loop: confirm what changed, who owns it, and why.
This sequence is taught to residents and adopted by partners.

Reduce learning costs
Clear next steps and plain-language 'why.'
Reduce compliance costs
Design for scarcity: scheduling, docs, no-reset follow-through.
Reduce psychological costs
Dignity micro-practices that lower threat and increase trust.
