| Criterion |  Facilitation Storytelling |  Engineering Hypothesis-Driven Troubleshooting |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When an insight needs to have an effect, storytelling translates dry facts into a comprehensible development. It combines context, tension, and consequence into a form that people remember and pass on more easily. | When systems fail unexpectedly, spontaneous attempts often produce more noise than insight. Hypothesis-driven Troubleshooting translates symptoms into testable assumptions and makes troubleshooting learnable. |
