Canonical page: https://tellenze.com/outcome-planner OUTCOME & EVIDENCE PLANNER # Plan the change. Know what to look for. Turn an idea into a small trial: who it helps, what should change, and the evidence you will review together. [Build your plan](#outcome-plan)[Compare your options](https://tellenze.com/decision-canvas) No account needed. Write here, then take an editable brief into your workflow. A useful trial - 01Change What would help, and whom? - 02Evidence What do we know and need to check? - 03Review When do we continue, adjust or stop? MAKE IT OBSERVABLE ## Your outcome plan. [Jump to brief](#outcome-brief) Enable JavaScript to write and export a plan. You can still read the method and related templates below. 01The change to try Start with one useful change and the people it should help. Plan title A short name for this trial. Optional. Proposed change Describe what you intend to try. Who should benefit? Name the people and the task or need you want to help. Expected observable outcome What should people be able to do, or what should change? Keep expected results separate from actual results. Why now? What makes this a useful change to explore now? 02The evidence so far Separate what you observed from what you assume. A missing baseline stays unknown. Baseline evidence typeObservedAssumptionUnknown Current baseline Record the current position, or the gap you need to investigate. Baseline source or context An accessible reference, method or date. This planner keeps references as text. Unknown does not mean zero. Establish the baseline before claiming an improvement. ### Evidence 1 Evidence type 1ObservedAssumptionUnknown What do we know 1? Source or context 1 Up to six evidence notes.03The signals to inspect Choose a few meaningful signals. Include how you will observe them and when you will look. ### Signal 1 What to observe 1 How to measure or compare 1 Evidence source 1 Check point 1 Up to six signals. More measures do not always give a clearer answer.04The review and next decision Agree the questions, the reviewer and the conditions for your next step. Assumptions to check What must be true for this change to help? Open questions What could change the plan? Name the useful next investigation. Review owner Agree who brings the evidence together and decides the next step. Review date Optional when the signal check points already define when to review. Continue, adjust or stop when… Describe what the evidence would mean for the next decision. Consider harmful effects as well as benefits. ### Your outcome brief A portable plan you can review together. ### Outcome brief: Untitled change Draft for review. Expected outcomes are hypotheses until checked against evidence. ## Proposed change Not specified. ## Who should benefit Not specified. ## Expected observable outcome Not specified. ## Why now Not specified. ## Baseline - Evidence type: Unknown - Current position: Unknown — not measured yet. - Source or context: Not specified. The unknown baseline is not zero. Establish a baseline before claiming a change from it. ## What we know ### Evidence 1: Unknown - Claim or gap: Unknown — define the question to investigate. - Source or context: Not specified. ## Signals to inspect ### Signal 1 - What to observe: Not specified. - How to measure or compare: Not specified. - Evidence source: Not specified. - Check point: Not specified. ## Assumptions No additional assumptions recorded. Review what remains unconfirmed. ## Open questions No additional questions recorded. ## Review and decision - Review owner: Not specified. - Review date: Not set — use the agreed signal check points. - Continue, adjust or stop when: Not specified. - Actual result: Not recorded — add the evidence after the trial. - Decision: Pending the evidence and the agreed reviewer. ## Details to agree - Describe the change you want to try. - Name the people who should benefit. - Describe a change you can observe. - Explain why this matters now. - Agree who will review the evidence. - Define what would make you continue, adjust or stop. - Name at least one signal to inspect. - Agree a review date or a signal check point. Prepared from supplied inputs. Sources have not been fetched or verified. Keep the actual evidence and decision with this brief when you review the work.

At review, record what actually happened, what remains unknown and the next decision.
