As a result, policy-management environments don’t gather this information; in turn, they fail to exploit it to help users check policy decisions against their multiple perspectives. We present a model of triangulating authoring environments that capture the data underlying these different perspectives, and iteratively sanity-check policy decisions against this information while editing. We also present a tool that consumes instances of the model and automatically generates prototype authoring tools for the described domain.
