Purposedifferent | When the question is whether two measures are related, the method makes patterns in the data picture visible. It separates felt correlations from relationships that actually show up in the data. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | 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. |
