This document discusses issues with logic models and frameworks that are commonly used to structure plans and projects. It argues that many links shown as causal are actually definitional or summarizing in nature. The document proposes using "summarizers" to better represent when multiple variables are defining or falling under a higher level variable, rather than causing it. Summarizers can be shown using dotted lines or boxes to contain lower level variables. This helps avoid incorrectly implying causation and prevents needing to create unnecessary indicators. The document encourages re-examining logic models to identify places where summarizers could improve clarity over causal links.
