|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a team works on symptoms but the real question stays fuzzy, a Problem Framing Workshop sharpens the view of the right problem. It separates observation, interpretation, and target picture from each other. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. | When several people work toward one goal but hold different mental maps, Alignment Mapping makes the discrepancies visible. It arranges goals, assumptions, and priorities so shared direction becomes verifiable. | The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible. |
