Suitable tasks
Explain a process, hierarchy or argument in a communication asset.
Limits and checks
Layout may imply causality or proportions absent from the text.
A repeatable trial
Provide a fictional process containing a conditional branch and a return step. Check arrows, order, labels and export readability.
How to decide
Keep the visual when relationships remain faithful and readers can recover the source text.
Frequently asked questions
Does a generated diagram prove its relationships?
No. Check each relation against the text and distinguish order, dependency and causality.
