Modus Operandi
Michael Scriven introduced this term to evaluation. Modus operandi refers to the identification of the cause of a certain effect by means of a detailed analysis of the preceding chain of events and the ambient conditions of those events. The term is often used in police work, abbreviated “MO,” referring to the particular way in which a certain criminal performs criminal acts.
