Root-cause drill applied to your own commitments.

Take one recurring commitment. Ask why five times in sequence. Each answer becomes the subject of the next why.

If the fifth answer doesn't connect to your purpose line, the commitment is legacy work. Rescope, delegate, or cut.

This is the same protocol Toyota uses to learn from production failures. It works.

OUTPUT: Clear audit on every recurring commitment you run it against.
