The Bottleneck Map makes the next decision smaller and safer.

This step exists to isolate one workflow bottleneck before any implementation is proposed. It is a paid diagnostic, not a soft sales ritual.

Redacted Bottleneck Map surface

Reserved for a redacted report excerpt or a logic chain that shows how the bottleneck is isolated.

We gather enough evidence to make a clean decision.

The Bottleneck Map reviews one selected workflow, its handoffs, evidence, operating documents, and recent examples of drag.

Select one workflow with visible drag

Review recent examples, assets, and handoffs

Identify the main bottleneck slowing the work down

Decide whether the bottleneck is worth fixing now

A short output built for action.

The workflow selected

The bottleneck found

The business impact

The first practical fix

A Fix Sprint recommendation or a clear deferral

Not every map leads to implementation.

The output is allowed to say that a Fix Sprint is not the right next step. That honesty is part of the product.

  • If the bottleneck is not clear enough, we do not pretend it is.
  • If the better next step is internal action, the map should say that.
  • If the issue sits in a different workflow, the recommendation should move there.

Choose the workflow with the clearest drag and use the map to decide whether a Fix Sprint is worth doing.
