Rooted Action Analysis™
A Circle-Based Journey Toward Alignment and Legacy
Many organizations have a theory of change, but few have a way to check if they’re truly living it.
Rooted Action Analysis™ (RAA) is COYA’s Indigenous-designed, celebratory alternative to SWOT analysis.
Instead of focusing on deficits or threats, RAA helps your team:
Celebrate what is already working
Acknowledge misalignments without shame
Develop a shared language for accountability and growth
RAA is rooted in Indigenous protocols, Spiral Time theory, and the COYA Agreements:
✨ Contribute Our Gifts. ✨ Own Our Actions. ✨ Yearn for Growth. ✨ Act on Legacy.
What Makes RAA Different?
🔄 Cyclical, not linear — growth comes in spirals, not straight lines.
💛 Strengths-based — grounded in gifts, not weaknesses.
🌐 Relational — delivered in circle, with respect, reciprocity, and ceremony.
📖 Action-oriented — your next steps are immediately clear.
SWOT is a violent snapshot. Rooted Action Analysis is a loving journey.

Rooted Action Analysis was the best example I’ve seen of decolonized ways of working, and standing in Indigenous Values. The evaluation portion of our event was the best part.
