Purposedifferent
When a system should improve while another measure suffers as a result, the method makes the underlying conflict precisely formulable. It separates the desired effect from its side effect. This makes solutions possible that address the contradiction deliberately instead of half-heartedly.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.
