C1: Structured modeling is positively related tothe
understandability of the resulting model. C2: A high number of move
operations isnegatively related to the understandability ofthe
resulting model. C3: Slow modeling is negatively related to
theunderstandability of the resulting model.Tying Process Model

MetricsUnderstandabilityMeasured by perspicuity:a model that is
unambiguously interpretable and can be madesound with only small
adaptations based on minimalassumptions on the modelers intentions
