Purposedifferent
With a confusing workflow that has many handoffs, the method makes the actual process visible. It shows where work is passed on, delayed, or duplicated, so improvement targets the right spots.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.With many similar objects of differing economic significance, the method prioritizes effort by effect. It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention.
