Step 01

Dissect

Open it up. Understand every part. Map the complexity, the dependencies, the hidden costs. You can't fix what you can't see.

Why Dissection Matters

Most organizations don't fail because they lack solutions. They fail because they don't understand the problem. Decades of accumulated decisions, workarounds, and "temporary" fixes have created systems so complex that no one person understands them anymore.

Dissection isn't about blame. It's about clarity. Before you can remove what doesn't work, you need to see it. Really see it.

What We Examine

"The first step to solving a problem is admitting you don't fully understand it yet."

The Output

A complete, honest map of your current state. Not a sanitized version for the board deck, the real thing. This becomes the foundation for everything that follows.

Some of what we find will be obvious. Some will be surprising. All of it will be necessary.

Next Step

Once you see clearly, it's time to let go.
