Logic Model

A Logic Model is a one page diagram that summarizes the Context, Goal, Desirable Effects, Input/Output Specification of a set of Activities.

It is also a kind of structural description of the nature of data, functions, or logic in a fundamental form. All data, logic, functions, should be describable in a Logic Model, so that when some data, even just a number, had been captured in the form of Logic Model, the past experience can be reused for future references.

This is an instrument for one to quickly organize thoughts and create a Design Contract with the rest of the world.

The syntax for filling up the Template is as two parts. The top part, surrounded by a blue dashline, is the abstract specification of a function. Describing what it is. The bottom part, surrounded by a red dashline, is the concrete implementation, revealing the resources and strategies to realize the cause-effect linkage between the abstraction specification with the concrete implementation and execution. The two parts, top and bottom of a Logic Model is shown below:

{{
Logic Model 

|context=A statement describing the spatial and temporal context of the event or project at hand.

|goal= An imperative statement that describes what is to be accomplished.

|criteria= A conditional statement that can be judged based on the outputs of the expected execution process.

|outputs= A list of items that were to be created through the process.

|process= An organized set of actions or sub-processes that takes inputs and transforms them into outputs.

|inputs= A set of resources that were to be employed in the above mentioned process.

|boundaries=A set of situations which could affect the validity of the overall project, or event.

A Rendered Logic Model in a PKC page

And it should be rendered in a page as what follows:

TO BE DEPRECATED: When you see this, please consider moving the logic model below from Template:Logic Model to Template:LogicModel

1. Context	A statement describing the spatial and temporal context of the event or project at hand.
2. Goal	An imperative statement that describes what is to be accomplished.
3. Success Criteria	A conditional statement that can be judged based on the outputs of the expected execution process.
4. Outputs	5. Process	6. Inputs
A list of items that were to be created through the process.	An organized set of actions or sub-processes that takes inputs and transforms them into outputs.	A set of resources that were to be employed in the above mentioned process.
7. Boundary Conditions	A set of situations which could affect the validity of the overall project, or event.
