The document discusses evaluation and thinking tools that have been useful for assessing the benefits and drawbacks of places and plans of action, specifically mentioning that mind maps and PMIs (problem-method-impact diagrams) have been found to be extremely helpful. It provides an example of a PMI in mind map format about different lands that have been observed, listing various pros and cons of each land related to features such as vegetation, water access, and infrastructure needs.

several PMIs (one in mindmap format) about lands which we have seen.
