01
Decision drag
If decisions are made but action still slows down, the issue is usually the path from decision to execution.
02
Ownership drift
If ownership changes when pressure rises, the system is leaning on informal rescue instead of stable accountability.
03
Priority overload
If everyone is carrying too many live priorities, the team stays busy but the real bottleneck never gets simpler.
04
Repeat fires
If the same issue keeps coming back, the fix is living in memory or effort, not inside a repeatable operating rule.
05
Hero dependency
If progress depends on one person stepping in personally, the team may be running on heroics rather than system strength.
