PLATO is a structured framework used in interviews and investigations to gather comprehensive information across 5 key categories: People, Locations, Activities, Times, and Objects. This method allows for thorough exploration of each aspect of a situation, ensuring that all relevant details are considered. By using PLATO, interviewers or investigators can organize data systematically, uncovering connections and patterns that may be critical to understanding a case or solving a problem.

Using mind maps for the PLATO framework visually organizes complex information, making it easier to capture and relate details across each category. It enables interviewers to quickly identify gaps, relationships, and redundancies in collected data, supporting a more complete analysis.

This PowerPoint presentation also includes an explanation of the mind map strategic analysis and visualization tool, along with guiding principles.
