Depending on your audience, simplified results chains or other drawings that illustrate cause and effect should be considered. For some audiences, depicting strength of evidence graphically (e.g., using color coded arrows that indicate sufficiency of the evidence supporting the assumptions implicit in the arrow) will be a desirable product (e.g., to help accentuate to managers the overall risk associated with a given strategy and to identify the links within a strategy that most warrant monitoring investment.) For instance, many Conservancy staff and partners who work with Indigenous Peoples have devised alternative approaches such as Life Planning (in the Amazon), Participatory Mapping (in Melanesia), and Healthy Country Planning (in Australia), using maps and stories instead of results chains.
