**6. Evaluation and results parametrisation**

The BoC model, its process and setting, throughout its four phases—information, objectives, actions, and project, permit the identification of a transversal structure of innovation and creativity, and allows the evaluation and parametrisation of the obtained results. Hence, by the identification of variables, features, and patterns, the participants improve their operative lexicon, thus granting the development of the BoC model itself as well.

Specifically, the BoC model makes use of four expansive parameters for its evaluation and parametrisation:

i.Creative cycle;

ii.Imaginative capacity;

iii.Patterns' identification; and

iv.Lexicon enrichment.

#### **6.1 Creative cycle**

The first parameter is related to the creative cycle offered by the BoC model and it can be defined by four distinct creative moments observed by the:

i.Capacity of identifying pertinent texts;


#### **6.2 Imaginative capacity**

The second parameter is related to the imaginative capacity in analysing dissimilar texts with a variable degree of distance, which implicates a variable and associated imaginative capacity to build interesting, innovative, and creative narratives.

#### **6.3 Identification of patterns**

The third parameter is related to the identification of patterns. It results from the identification of words and meanings from the exposed texts that motivated analogic thinking and further lead to a better comprehension of practical realities. This capacity depends on the audience and its efficacy varies depending on the tailored introduction of different perspectives.

#### **6.4 Lexicon enrichment**

The fourth and last parameter is related to the lexicon enrichment throughout the process, and it is observed by the increase of the available lexicon. In practice, the quality of the available lexicon is observed by the participants' improvement of thinking, comprehension, and description of the exposed realities. The Phase 4—project is the one that enables the validation of the achieved progress, by the evaluation of more elaborated and meticulous definitions.
