Purposedifferent | After missions or project phases with unclear outcomes, the method makes visible what actually happened and what can be learned from it. It separates course, effect, and causes so experience turns into solid improvement. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | With a confusing workflow that has many handoffs, the method makes the actual process visible. It shows where work is passed on, delayed, or duplicated, so improvement targets the right spots. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
