A visualization tool that reveals how system variables such as metrics, debt, or productivity change over time.
Helpful if you need to understand patterns over time before discussing a cause.

Describe the symptom
Collect observations
Formulate hypotheses
Analyze system dynamics
Derive interventions

Move from individual observations to the deeper dynamics, boundaries, and roles involved.
Now derive measures that address structure, rules or information flows.
This checklist is not a second form. It is a completeness check. If something is missing, add the information in the text fields above.
