Paper radar with five axes, two current and target profiles, and evidence cards beside each dimension.

Radar
Purposedifferent
With many similar objects of differing economic significance, the method prioritizes effort by effect. It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.When capabilities, maturity levels, or market positions need to be compared across several dimensions, overview is easily lost. Radar brings different characteristics into a shared picture and shows patterns faster than tables do.
