Structured problem solving
Stop closing the issue before it is solved.
Independent challenge for recurring defects, failures and corrective actions where the explanation feels plausible but the evidence is weak.
Evidence before opinion
A root cause should explain the evidence — and survive challenge.
?
Problem definition
Separate the actual failure from assumptions, symptoms and noise.
↯
Causal logic
Build a causal chain that connects mechanism to outcome.
⌁
Evidence
Test suspected causes against data, timing and physical reality.
8D
Corrective action
Make actions remove the cause rather than contain the symptom.
✓
Verification
Define what would prove the fix worked and stays working.
◎
Facilitation
Get cross-functional teams out of circular debate and into evidence.
Bring the recurring problem.
Book a 30-minute introduction. Bring the problem, not a polished brief.
