Which Evaluation Should We Do?

← datawithaplot.org

Sources and credit. The idea of laying the whole field out at once is borrowed from three places: Lemire's Evaluation Metro Map (2024), Vaca and Patton's Periodic Table of Evaluation 2.0 (2025), and Schröter, Becho and Montrosse-Moorhead's Garden of Evaluation Approaches (2026). Those three classify approaches by what they are. This one asks what you can actually do, which is the part they leave to you. Per-approach sources are listed on each entry.
