|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For operational work in a distributed team, the method links communication with direct system control. It records decisions right where the signal, the context, and the execution come together. | During an acute incident with several people involved, the method creates a clear leadership and communication structure. It reduces chaos when fast coordination and clean situational awareness are both needed at once. | When many tasks need to be classified quickly, it sorts them by perceived effort and similarity. It reduces the effort of fine-grained estimation for large volumes. |
