Noye's Deliberation Model is designed to facilitate collaborative decision-making through a structured approach. The phases of this model focus on understanding the perspectives of all participants, negotiating agreements, and ultimately reaching a decision.

Highlighting agreement/disagreement involves identifying what the group agrees on or where they differ, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse viewpoints present. Negotiating points of agreement allows participants to discuss and refine these points of consensus, which is essential for collaborative decision-making. Adopting a decision is the final phase, where the group commits to a specific course of action based on the deliberations.

In contrast, clustering interests is not one of the established phases in Noye's model. While it might be a useful practice in other contexts for grouping similar viewpoints or needs, it is not defined as a distinct phase in Noye's framework. This highlights the model's emphasis on direct negotiation and decision-making processes rather than categorizing or clustering interests beforehand. Thus, it does not align with the structured approach that Noye's Deliberation Model advocates for engaging participants in meaningful discussions and consensus-building.
