|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | In many problem situations, effect is distributed unequally across many causes. A Pareto Analysis separates the few drivers with high leverage from the long remainder and focuses attention on what measurably moves the needle. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
