Purposedifferent
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.For operational work in a distributed team, the method links communication with direct system control. It records decisions right where the signal, the context, and the execution come together.
