Criteria
Documenting Need Claims there is a
problem or need but
fails to quantify the
issue
Identifies a
reasonable measure
of the problem or
need but it is not
directly related to
the target population
Identifies both the problem
or need as well as the
degree to which the issue is
impacting the target
population – Establishes a
clear need based on data
Proposing a Solution Proposes a solution
or approach to
solving the problem
or addressing the
need identified
The proposed
solution is a model
or evidence-based
program
The identified solution
includes evidence of
effectiveness or is proven
to work in the target
population
Identifying
Indicators of
Success
Outcome measures
or indicators of
success are included
Proposed outcome
measures or
indicators of success
are logically linked
or associated with
the identified need
or problem
The proposed outcome
measures or indicators of
success are based on past
experience, industry
standards or research that
demonstrates a relationship
between the solution and
the identified problem,
need or issue – the selected
measures fully support
checking the solution
against identified issue
Assess the Solution Targeted level(s) of
change are included,
although the basis
for the target is not
stated
Targets for change
are logical but may
still be based on
assumptions –
targets are not fully
vetted
Targets for change are
justified based on
documented similar or past
results achieved, either by
the proposer or in related
research
Overall Impression The logic model
presents an
unsupported
prediction about a
possible solution to
an identified
problem, need or
issue
The logic model
presents a logical,
loosely supported
guess at a solution
to an identified
problem, need or
issue
The logic model presents a
solution to an identified
problem, need or issue that
is fully justified with
practical and logical
reasoning based on
experience, data and/or
research
