CLD

CLD, or Causal Loop Diagram, is a visual tool used to represent and analyze how different factors in a system influence each other. It uses arrows to show cause-and-effect relationships and feedback loops that can either reinforce or balance changes over time. By mapping these connections, CLDs help identify patterns, understand complex dynamics, and predict how changes in one part of the system might affect the whole. They are useful in various fields for problem-solving, decision-making, and improving system performance.
