Purposedifferent
It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.When the same task is done differently depending on the person, the method exposes the reliable core. It creates comparability without unnecessarily choking off needed latitude.With many similar objects of differing economic significance, the method prioritizes effort by effect. It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention.
