Purposedifferent
Product Kata helps clarify customer problems, solution ideas, and evidence through a repeatable improvement routine. It captures direction, current metric, target metric, experiment notes, and learning.When an initiative stalls, the limit often lies not in the idea but in hard or soft boundary conditions. Constraint Analysis separates these limits and shows which of them can actually be shaped.For decisions with follow-on paths and dependencies, a linear comparison is often not enough. A Decision Tree shows how options branch under conditions and which consequences hang on each branch.
