How it works

From idea to finished casual loop diagram

1

Pick circular-diagram

Choose the circular layout to model feedback and flow relationships.

Select Circular Diagram from chart styles.

2

Add nodes and flows

Create nodes for key parts and flows for their influences or transfers.

Nodes: Atmosphere, Plants; Flow: Atmosphere → Plants, value 120.

3

Style for clarity

Enable labels and values, adjust arrow and line widths, set font size.

Turn on Show Labels and Show Flow Values; increase Arrow Size.

4

Use AI to draft

Describe your system; AI proposes nodes, directions, and initial values.

“Map a casual loop diagram for product adoption with word-of-mouth.”

Use cases

Who benefits from circular feedback modeling

Systems thinking

Causal feedback analysis

Map reinforcing and balancing loops to explain outcomes and leverage points in a casual loop diagram for workshops and reports.

Operations

Process improvement

Visualize delays, bottlenecks, and circular dependencies to guide interventions and measure impact across teams.

Product & Growth

Growth loops

Model acquisition, activation, retention, and referrals as connected loops to prioritize experiments and track effects.

Education & Research

Teaching systems

Use circular diagrams to present ecological, economic, or social systems with clear node labels and directional arrows.

Better than traditional tools

Less fiddling, more clarity

Manual diagramming

  • Time-consuming placement and alignment
  • Hard-to-read arrows and line widths
  • Labels overlap or go missing
  • No quick way to show values
  • Inconsistent colors and styles

AI-powered circular-diagram

  • Auto-spaced nodes on a clean circle
  • Arrow size and flow width tuned for readability
  • Smart labels and values enabled by default
  • Fast color suggestions for distinct groups
  • Instant previews and easy refinements

FAQs

What is a casual loop diagram?

A casual loop diagram shows how parts of a system influence each other in circular feedback loops. Nodes represent parts, and arrows represent direction and strength of influence or flow.

Is a casual loop diagram the same as a causal loop diagram?

Yes—many people say “casual loop diagram,” but the common term is “causal loop diagram.” This tool supports both terms and the same circular-diagram workflow.

How do I show values on flows?

Enable Show Flow Values. You can set numeric values for each arrow and adjust Flow Line Width and Arrow Size to express magnitude visibly.

Can I customize labels and fonts?

Yes. Toggle Show Labels, edit text directly, and adjust Font Size. Use concise labels to keep the loop readable at a glance.

How do I control diagram size?

Use Diagram Radius for overall layout, Node Size for emphasis, and Flow Line Width for visual weight. Preview updates instantly as you edit.
