| Criterion |  Operations Eat the Frog |  Engineering Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | When systems fail unexpectedly, spontaneous attempts often produce more noise than insight. Hypothesis-driven Troubleshooting translates symptoms into testable assumptions and makes troubleshooting learnable. |
