Chained Conversion: A Work Process That Keeps Snarling

Target: one process in your work that snarls up unusually often. A reporting/approval line, a cross-department collaboration request, a deployment procedure, a customer-response flow—the process that gets stuck in the same spot every time.

'Chain-convert' that process through 3 or more different representation forms. E.g.: a one-sentence summary → a step-by-step timeline → a dialogue script between the players (recomposed as each person's lines) → a description of a map picture with the bottleneck marked. At each step, (a) actually write the result of putting it in that form, and (b) record 1 thing that 'became visible for the first time' in that form. At the end, sum up in one line which form brought you closest to the cause of the snarl.
