NANO: What traits does the analyst believe make a good collaborator? Is the analyst interested in how the collaboration stabilizes or how it fails or shifts?

Hegel is specifically interested in the possible benefits of adopting the “yes, and” model of collaboration in the practice of data analysis. Thus, a “good collaborator” would be one who affirms their partner’s thinking and contributes by delving deeper/spinning off/backing up/ etc. That is, to Hegel, the “agreeing to agree” element of the “yes, and” model is essential.
