Untangle: Conflict Mapping

Untangle: Conflict Mapping helps educators, students, peacebuilders, and researchers visualize complex conflicts and stakeholder relationships.

Untangle is a guided stakeholder mapping tool that helps you analyze conflict with clarity and empathy.

Whether you're studying a novel, a real-world dispute, or a situation in your own community, Untangle walks you through three steps: identify who's affected, understand what each person wants and how they feel misunderstood, then map the relationships between them — cooperation, tension, or conflict.

The result is a relationship map that makes complexity visible — not to assign blame, but to build understanding.

Features • Three-phase guided workflow — situation → perspectives → relationship map • Visual stakeholder map with color-coded relationships and power direction arrows • Phase 2 perspective cards: see what each person wants and how they feel misunderstood • Debrief questions to guide reflection and discussion • Language Supports mode with sentence frames, word bank, and debrief starters for L2 learners • Full English / Spanish bilingual support • Save your map as an image • Works completely offline — no account required, no data collected

Developed for use in conflict analysis, peacebuilding education, and dual-language classrooms (grades 4–12 and beyond).
