Purposedifferent | When several contexts need to talk to each other, it makes their relationships and dependencies legible. It helps sort integration pressure and responsibilities across system boundaries. | The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict. | A Business Model Stress Test checks how well a business model holds up under pressure and headwinds.
