Six questions are at the heart of Meta-Frame. Dealing with these questions allows one to design and review projects, programs and policy implementation arrangements. Underneath each of these questions there are instruments that help to get sharper answers.

The six questions are:

• Are objectives clearly formulated and widely understood?
• Is there a clear implementation logic?
• Are there – partial – alternatives to the current implementation logic?
• Can the program be adjusted during implementation?
• Are the main external factors that that effect results – positively or negatively – known and can they be influenced?
• Do interests allows effectiveness, cost efficiency and implementability?

The six questions help to manage certainty and uncertainty within the content and context of the program. They help in designing the implementation arrangements of the project, program or policy. (ring 2)
