I work in between policy and the actual scientists writing code and running experiments. I use Visio and LucidChart to make sure I've figured out how the decision flow in policy space can map to some realizable version of meat space and network space, and demonstrate to actual policy makers where their policies may not work (e.g. there's a pocket of bureaucrats who we know will squeeze the time out of our clocks, here's some software or infrastructure that will require additional authorization because it exists inside or outside a policy boundary, etc). Some of those documents I never look at again. Some of those documents I show to other people and it's like watching lightening strike: "Oh, I like this, I like this a lot."
