It makes gaps and friction along the user path clear. | 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. | After missions or project phases with unclear outcomes, the method makes visible what actually happened and what can be learned from it.
