Evaluate the structural model by checking bootstrapped path coefficients for significance. Assess R² values for explanatory power. Use f² to measure a construct's substantive impact. Finally, confirm predictive relevance (Q²) via blindfolding; a value above zero indicates the model has predictive power for endogenous constructs.
