Purposedifferent
When switching motives and progress are unclear, it reconstructs the situation from real customer circumstances. It shows why a switch happens and what kind of progress is being sought.When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact.

It shows who influences, who is affected, and where relationship management or safeguarding matters first.
