Purposedifferent
A Stock and Flow Diagram shows how stocks, inflows, and outflows shape a system over time. It is especially suited when growth, delays, or capacity limits determine the dynamics.For operational work in a distributed team, the method links communication with direct system control. It records decisions right where the signal, the context, and the execution come together.
