That's true. The Black Box model is increasingly seen as too simplistic and inadequate to provide necessary insight into important elements such as mechanisms, but its simplicity is also attractive to some stakeholders for conducting the evaluation more quickly and less expensively.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
