This algorithm begins with a box for "Practice 1." An arrow links this box to a second box, "Number of times practice was state across all sites." An arrow leads from the second box to a third, "Ranking of sites who stated practice." Three arrows point from this box to three more boxes. One is "High-performing and low-performing sites = May Be Best Practice." The second is "All high-performing sites = Best Practice." The third is "All low-performing sites = Not Best Practice. The box with "High-performing and low-performing sites = May Be Best Practice" has an arrow that points to a box "Was there a difference in how sites implemented the practice that explains why the practice worked in high-performing but not low-performing sites?" From this box, one arrow points to "Yes = Best Practice" and another points to "No = May Be Best Practice." From "No = May Be Best Practice" an arrow points to a box "Are more than two thirds of the sites that use the practice high-performing?" From this box, one arrow points to "Yes = Best Practice" and another points to "No = Not Best Practice."
