Checking your CLD

Review and Critique

When reviewing your CLD or someone else's answer these questions:_ * [ ] Are names variables? * [ ] Are the variable names clear and making sense? * [ ] Do the relationships (links) make sense? * [ ] Is the polarity right (Same/Opposite)? * [ ] Are there any relationships missing between existing variables? * [ ] Can we close any more loops? * [ ] Are there any missing variables? _-From the logic of the diagram_ * [ ] Does the story make sense? * [ ] Are there any other missing variables? _-From the point of view of the whole story_

* [ ] Identify any cul de sac variables (= variables affecting nothing else in the diagram): What do they affect (either existing or new variables?) How? * [ ] Identify any dangle variables (= variables with nothing affecting them in the diagram) What affects them (either existing or new variables?) How?
