Purposedifferent
With a stuck problem carrying many implicit assumptions, the method translates observations into open, workable questions. It sharpens the problem frame without pre-thinking the solution, turning frustration or fuzziness into a search space with clear direction.When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together.
