Table 3 Overview of how the amplification processes of different frameworks overlap and differ as well as how we grouped them under the amplification processes. We only analysed processes that focus on increasing impact and therefore excluded cross-cutting, partnering, instrumentalising, and accumulation in this analysis (Table 2; *Speeding up is based on the idea of acceleration mechanisms which processes can increase the pace of a transformation. Italics indicate not perfect matches. A more detailed overview of the integration of amplification processes is provided in Table S1)
