Diagnose the System
A guided triage tool for moving from a visible symptom toward the most likely structural area to examine first.
When something is wrong but you cannot yet name exactly what, this diagnostic helps you move from what you can see — a visible symptom or recurring failure — toward the structural area most worth examining.
This is a triage aid, not a final diagnosis. It points toward what to examine — not what is definitively wrong. Use it to orient your inquiry, then bring judgment, conversation, and contextual knowledge to what you find.
