02Play · the two stances

The situation“I need to work out what's actually wrong before I can fix it.”

This is a choice between two stances. Work out whether the problem is complicated (a right answer hiding in the detail) or complex (no right answer yet), then make the matching Play.

Play A

Map it on the wall

the problem is complicated.

Play B

Run three safe-to-fail probes

the problem is complex.

Each positions you differently for the next conversation. You choose.
