Random skipped captures = friction problem; clustered…
Classify each skipped capture by checking whether failure frequency is random across topics (friction problem requiring tool improvement) or clustered in specific domains (resistance problem revealing avoidance patterns).
When improvement stalls despite effort, the bottleneck…
When throughput improvement stalls despite continued effort at the current constraint location, immediately re-run constraint identification to detect whether the bottleneck has migrated.
Multi-domain cognitive difficulty signals attention debt…
When experiencing chronic difficulty with complex cognitive tasks across multiple domains simultaneously, diagnose for attention debt rather than domain-specific skill gaps, because attentional degradation produces domain-general impairment that mimics multiple independent deficiencies.
Classification friction reveals missing categories — map…
When items consistently resist classification in your system (you hesitate, force-fit, or leave uncategorized), map what those resistant items have in common to diagnose missing categories that represent dimensions you care about but haven't encoded.
A growing 'Miscellaneous' category signals missing…
When a 'Miscellaneous' or 'Other' category grows faster than named categories, it signals that your classification dimensions are missing a meaningful distinction that reality contains.
Assess agent ecosystem health by checking three pair-level…
When performing ecosystem health assessments, examine agent pairs for three specific failure modes: conflicting outputs, throughput mismatches between producer and consumer, and resource competition for the same limited capacity.
Four questions for 30-minute coordination reviews
During 30-minute coordination reviews, answer four diagnostic questions with evidence: which agents produced output, did outputs reach intended consumers, what was the coordination-to-work time ratio, and where did agents actively interfere.
