Described in the paper The Matrix of Convivial Technology - Assessing technologies for degrowth.

Looks very handy for understanding some of the aspects of what it is for a tool to be 'convivial'.

Interesting to note they make the distinction of convivial technology vs convivial tools - and seem to intentionally rule out institutions/organisations from their analysis tool (if I understood right). Probably just to help narrow it down. Not 100% clear on that distinction yet, just be aware it exists.
