Smoke Test
Purposedifferent
When an initiative stalls, the limit often lies not in the idea but in hard or soft boundary conditions. Constraint Analysis separates these limits and shows which of them can actually be shaped.When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.
