Purposedifferent | When metrics across the organization drift apart, it arranges drivers and effects under one shared logic. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a KPI tree and owner list. | Value Chain Analysis shows where value is created, costs accrue, and differentiation becomes possible along the process.

The result is captured as a value-chain map and lever list. | Helps clarify technical problems, hypotheses, and next steps in concrete terms. It breaks a technical problem into testable parts.
