FDE-01 · Field discovery and workflow reconstruction

Reconstruct how work actually moves across people, systems, data, exceptions, incentives, and informal controls before proposing a solution.

Elaboration: Observes representative work and distinguishes stated process from actual process. Maps actors, systems of record, handoffs, wait states, exceptions, rework, and decision rights. Surfaces contradictory stakeholder accounts and resolves them with evidence rather than averaging them away. Separates symptoms from root constraints and records unknowns that can invalidate the mission.
