Additional diverse applications are briefly discussed to illustrate the potential value of this tool to guide a number of evidence-informed efforts.

This article provides a typology of the terms, develops a framework for thinking about how their elements relate, and distinguishes four varieties of the Black Swan. Using the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, 9/11, the international withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the trade boycott associated with the Danish cartoon controversy as examples,...
