Join us to discuss the ITN framework—a method to assess which interventions and cause areas have the greatest potential for improving the world.

**Pre-Meeting Preparation**
Before meeting, please read over the following articles on the ITN framework:
[Probably Good: ITN Framework](https://probablygood.org/core-concepts/itn-framework/)
[80,000 Hours: Problem Framework](https://80000hours.org/articles/problem-framework/)

**Discussion Topics**
Please spend some time beforehand to prepare an answer the following discussion questions:

1\. How does the ITN framework differ from traditional [cost-effectiveness analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-effectiveness_analysis)?
2\. Are there any important factors that the ITN framework misses\, or other useful frameworks for evaluating cause areas and interventions?
3\. Choose a cause or intervention\. Assess the cause according to the the ITN framework\.
