Scenario:
A scenario is a "story" illustrating the future or an aspect of the future. It is perhaps the most emblematic Foresight or future studies method. The best scenarios are internally self-consistent, coherent and focused on the most relevant issues. Scenarios are used both as an exploratory method or a tool for decision-making, mainly to highlight the discontinuities from the present and to reveal the choices available and their potential consequences.

Scope:
Within a given focus, the scope is the set of things the exercise will look at (and, therefore, also implicitly defines what will be left out). There are basically two aspects involved into defining the scope of a Foresight exercise: choosing the topics to be dealt with; developing the perspective to be taken regarding the topics under investigation.
