🌻 The result of an evaluation is a qualitative causal model
Evaluation outputs as a model#
What is the output of an evaluation? We have a report, hopefully answering the evaluation questions. (In the sense of developmental evaluation perhaps some learning has taken place as well, or as a main output, but this is not what I want to address here.)
The final product can be more than a report: it can be a kind of model or knowledge graph which in principle can be queried to answer even new and unexpected questions.
