This template provides a visual framework for identifying potential causes of a problem (the "effect"). It's designed to facilitate brainstorming and structured analysis.

Layout & Structure: The template features a fishbone diagram, also known as an Ishikawa diagram. It consists of a horizontal line representing the "effect" and angled lines branching off, representing potential "causes." These causes are categorized and displayed along the branches. The diagram in this template has five main cause categories, each with two sub-categories. The structure encourages a systematic exploration of contributing factors.

Style: The diagram utilizes a modern and clean aesthetic with a color gradient for the "cause" branches. The use of circles with checkmarks adds a visual element of completion or validation. The dotted lines connecting the sub-causes to the main causes create a clear visual flow. The overall style is professional and suitable for business presentations.
