Olivier Cossee says, “evaluators need to propose reasonable solutions to the problems they raise… the hard part is to propose something better, in a constructive manner.”
A reasonable solution is, at least implicitly, a Theory of Change. It should be explicit: a tentative goal, a first step toward the goal, and some intermediate steps. The hardest part is that first step. Taking that first step should answer the question, “Might this be worth considering?”
