The solution (or “causal” recipe) for each model is made up of a series of configurations, each of which is a sufficient condition for the outcome. For example, the solution for model 1 is interpreted as follows: (weak provider reporting AND low socioeconomic status) OR (strong provider reporting AND specializing in geriatrics or women's health) are each SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS for low ODC scores. Each sufficient configuration has a consistency, raw coverage, and unique coverage. The overall solution for each model also has a consistency and a coverage.

SES, socioeconomic status.
