Symptom to cause

Purpose
Turn a symptom into a cause, treating whatever AI proposes as a hypothesis to check against the evidence.
Inputs
  • The constraint from Find the constraint
  • The same evidence: emails, CRM, invoices, meeting notes
Method
  1. Ask why, repeatedly, until the answer is a rule, a decision, an ownership gap, or a capacity limit
  2. Check the answer against the evidence: what supports it, what contradicts it, what else could explain the same pattern
Output
A named cause, tied to the evidence that supports it and the alternatives it survived.

The reasoning behind this one capability, with a worked example.
