Legend (How to Read Causal Loop Diagram)
- Goal – high, overarching/strategic goal that needs to be achieved
- Variable – system elements that have effect/make influence on other system elements (other variables)
- Causal link – arrows that connect two related variables
- Opposite effect – “O” annotation near an arrow; suggest that effect of one variable on another variable is opposite to what could be expected
- Delayed effect – “||” annotation that disrupts a causal link (arrow); it implies that there is a delayed effect of one variable by another variable
- Extreme effect – one variable has an extreme (beyond normal) effect on another variable; it is represented by a thick arrow
- Constraint – “C” annotation near arrow; implies that there is a constraint on a variable
- Quick- Fix reaction – “QF” annotation near an arrow; action that brings about short-term, lower cost effect
