|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a problem has several possible contributing factors, the method sorts causes by cause areas. It prevents an initial hunch from blocking the view of other plausible drivers. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
