Purposedifferent | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | For a deviation after a change, the method isolates the influence of the altered condition. It narrows down which differences are relevant and which are just accompanying noise. | In technical failures, the visible symptom often gets mixed up with the actual cause. Fault Isolation narrows the fault space and progressively reduces which part of the system is truly affected. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
