The Four-Week Walkthrough

A private, one-on-one RootCause Applied engagement for one recurring problem, process, workflow, or routine that has not stayed fixed.

Over four weeks, we slow the problem down, examine what actually happens, separate evidence from assumptions, identify where the process first breaks down, and test a practical change.

This is not a generic course or a list of quick fixes. We work through one real situation and build a clearer picture of what is actually happening.

By the end of the engagement, you will have a completed RootCause Clarity Map and a practical next-step plan based on the evidence.

What We Will Work Through

The Four-Week Walkthrough is built around one recurring problem, process, workflow, or routine that has not stayed fixed.

We will work through the problem step by step, using evidence to understand what is actually happening rather than jumping to another solution.

Together, we will:

• Define the problem clearly

• Compare the intended path with what actually happens

• Find where the paths first separate

• Separate evidence from assumptions

• Test the most supported explanation

• Identify one practical change to test

• Check whether the change actually holds

The goal is not to blame people or add complexity. It is to understand what is keeping the problem stuck and determine what is worth changing.

What You Leave With

This engagement is designed to leave you with more than a conversation about the problem.

By the end of the Four-Week Walkthrough, you will have a completed RootCause Clarity Map showing what is actually happening, where the process first breaks down, what the evidence supports, and what may be worth changing.

We will also identify a practical next step or change to test, along with a way to determine whether the change actually holds.

The goal is clarity you can use after the engagement ends, not another temporary workaround.
