# Using ToC tool to understand the impact of specific features of the coop

The Theory of Change isn’t just a high-level map; it’s a flexible tool that helps us zoom in on the difference each part of Equal Care’s model is making.

Each of the co-op’s four core dimensions -🟡 **Circles**, 🔵 **Platform**, 🟠 **Teams**, and 🟢 **Commons** - has its own set of activities (outputs), which are connected to the changes and impacts (outcomes) we want to see.

But try showing all of those connections at once, and things can quickly get overwhelming:\

To make things easier to explore and understand, we’ve created **partial views** that isolate each co-op dimension. These focused views allow you to:

* See the **specific outputs** linked to each feature of the model
* Understand the **outcomes** those outputs aim to contribute to
* Identify related **indicators** and how we measure success

By exploring these dedicated views, you can build a clearer picture of how each part of the co-op contributes to the bigger picture of care that is abundant, co-produced, and rooted in community.

Choose a dimension from the list on the left to dive into its unique Theory of Change.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://play.equal.care/evaluation-framework/the-toolbox/theory-of-change/using-toc-tool-to-understand-the-impact-of-specific-features-of-the-coop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
