Week 2 · 10-15 minutes · Handwritten

You just dug five levels deep.
What did you find that surprised you?

After the 5 Whys

You've completed your 5 Whys analysis. Before you move on to building, take a moment to process what you discovered.

What you thought the problem was → What you now understand

The gap between these is where your insight lives.

What to Write About

Reflect on your 5 Whys experience:

1 What did you discover by asking "why" repeatedly?

Name the specific insight—what's different now?

2 What was the real barrier you uncovered?

Is it different from what you assumed at the start?

3 Where did you get stuck or want to stop digging?

What made certain "whys" harder to answer?

4 How does this change what you'll build?

If the root cause is different, the solution should be too.
