Structural Diagnosis Framework

Diagnosis before prescription.
Architecture before activity.

Most performance failures are not training problems. Describe the situation and this model will guide you through all five layers — Signal Classification, System Diagnosis, Capital Allocation, Reinforcement Design, and Measurement & Governance — to recommend the right intervention.

L1
Signal Classification
L2
System Diagnosis
L3
Capital Allocation
L4
Reinforcement Design
L5
Measurement & Governance
1
Signal Classification
What type of breakdown is actually occurring?
2
System Diagnosis

4
Performance Gap Statement
Observable behavior, current vs. standard, business impact
Write it as a leader would brief an executive: what is happening, what should be happening, and what is at stake.
