Socialroots' research built on the core-periphery model of networks as articulated by The Together Institute and Michel Bachmann. Every network has three types of participants:
- Core Team (1%): Full-time staff who lead and provide resources
- Middle Layer ‘Network Catalysts’ (9%): People who can lead some

“catalyst” Buddy Love tales, in which a “being” comes into one’s life, affects it, and leaves, is a subset of the Buddy Love dynamic

Catalysts accelerate change. While they cannot make a reaction happen that would normally not, they can significantly reduce the time required for change to occur. Finding the right catalyst is critical. No single substance increases the rate of all reactions. Because different reactions have different activation energies, there are many different

we are in the presence of a more or less specific catalyst.

A catalyst produces change. Change produces transition. Transition produces loss. Loss produces conflict. Always.19

Catalyzing is the art of crafting a vision and inspiring action. Catalysts are particularly instrumental in forming new networks: they bring people together for the first time to explore the potential and get the effort off the ground. Once a network is launched, catalyzing continues to be needed to organize new project teams, raise resources, and
