It makes visible which reaction stage a person or team is currently stuck on.A Causal Loop Diagram makes feedback, reinforcement, and balance in a system legible. It uncovers side effects and self-reinforcement that stay hidden in linear explanations.For a safety-relevant event or a system with high protection requirements, the method examines where controls failed.
