Five key measures are used to evaluate the effectiveness of action plans in writing tasks:

• Time: The duration required to create plans with and without a vocabulary.
• Effort: Assessed using the NASA-Task Load Index questionnaire to ask questions about task demands.
• Granularity: The number of steps generated per plan.
• Atomicity: The number of steps that can be completed with little cognitive effort and need for context.
• Sourcing potential: The number of steps that can be crowd-sourced or self-sourced.
