[[File:Pmep-pmre2-eng.gif|alt=To depict a regulatory performance story, it is useful to start with a structured understanding of the problem, need, risk, or harm before developing the results logic. The advantages of defining the problems, needs, risks, or harms before defining results include the following:    It supports the first step in the regulatory process as described in the Cabinet Directive on Streamlining Regulation: "identify the problem or policy issue." If we have not properly identified the problem, then we have likely not identified an appropriate solution.  Identifying problems, risks, or harms serves to set the vital context. In fact, they can directly set the terms for and define the inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes stated in the logic model. Figure 2 shows how this works.|left|thumb|500x500px|Figure 1: Logic Model Example]]
