Cynefin sorter
Describe a problem, answer five questions, and see the decision context it sits in — and the first move that fits.

A calculator gives you a number. These give you the number — and tell you what it's hiding and what to look at next. Each ties back to a frame and a case. Use them now; no sign-up.
Frames turned usable. Knowledge explains the idea; here you apply it to your own problem.

Open the sorter →Is it legible? Standardized? Measured? Trusted? Returns "ready" — or "you're about to build on sand."
Build next ◷Read OEE (contable) against EnPI — energy per unit (physical) — on the same axis. The gap is the rework the OEE wasn't showing.
Build next ◷Each updates live as you type — and tells you what the number hides.
what it hides a green OEE can mask rework counted as process and overtime masking the gap — pair it with EnPI to see the full picture.
what it hides theoretical capacity ≠ real; the bottleneck decides the line, not the average station.
what it hides OEE can be green while EnPI rises — the gap between them is the rework F5 exposes. Read them together.
Starting structures — useful when the discipline matters more than the form.
Structured problem-solving on one page. The discipline is the structure, not the form.
Externalizes tacit knowledge — always partial; the drift is the signal. F3 · Case 01.
