Diagnose broken loops by mapping onto…
Map any broken feedback loop onto the four-part structure (Act, Observe, Evaluate, Adjust) to diagnose which specific component is missing, because each missing part produces a distinct failure signature.
Map actual information flow to distinguish artificial…
Distinguish artificial serialization (treating independent tasks as dependent) from premature parallelization (launching tasks before their dependencies resolve) by mapping actual information flow rather than assumed ordering.
Check if conflicting values are both terminal — many…
Before declaring a value conflict irresolvable, verify that both values are truly terminal rather than instrumental—many apparent conflicts between values dissolve when you discover one is actually a means to the other.
Unexplained energy drain despite rest and manageable load?…
When autonomously motivated work drains energy despite adequate rest and manageable workload, audit values-behavior alignment before adjusting workload or seeking medical intervention.
Diagnose chronic priority inversion
When time spent on lower-ranked priorities chronically exceeds time spent on top-ranked priorities, diagnose whether the misalignment stems from broken priority inheritance, active trap capture, or deep values misalignment, as each requires different intervention strategies.
Log every context switch for one day
Log every context switch during a baseline measurement day by recording time, source task, and destination task without attempting reduction, because accurate switching-cost assessment requires measurement that precedes intervention to establish true baseline against habituated behavior.
