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. | For easily distracted solo work, the method sets clear time boundaries for concentrated work. It protects attention when large tasks would otherwise fall apart into small avoidance moves. | When a problem keeps recurring and the cause stays unclear, the method exposes the underlying mechanism. It separates symptom, guess, and robust explanation from one another. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
