A tree diagram is a tool used to break down broad goals into increasingly detailed levels. It starts with a central concept and branches out into finer levels of detail, similar to the structure of a tree. This helps in understanding the various components of a goal and how they relate to one another, facilitating a step-by-step approach to achieving the objective.

I’m not confident, but I think the interrelationship digraph could also be relevant in some way. It’s all a bit fuzzy for me!
