Claims / C-VE6RSX3TR7
Normative
Use the why as a filter: an option belongs only if an outsider could read the why from it. A why that rules nothing out does no work.
The claim
A clear why should be used as a filter on advice, opportunities and best practice: an option belongs in the what only if someone watching from outside could read the why from it. Much good advice fails that test for a given organisation, and taking all of it produces a what that costs more and signals nothing about what the organisation stands for. A why that has never ruled out an attractive option is not yet doing work.

As soon as I gave you the filter, as soon as I said the why, you knew exactly what decisions to make before I said so.

It's not that the other advice isn't good. It's just not good for you.

T=2 L=na above=As the what grows the why goes fuzzy, because only the what is measured; the test is whether the why would survive the founder. below=none | Normative, importance only. Tier 2 because it is the operational form of the failure test and the one the siblings can apply this week.
