NOTE

Eigenquestions | The Key Question for Answering Subsequent Questions

The concept of identifying the key question centers on ranking questions by their potential to eliminate others rather than by importance or order of creation. The key question is defined as the one that, when answered, resolves the most subsequent questions on the list. This method allows for more efficient decision-making by focusing on leverage, enabling clarity and simplicity in addressing complex scenarios. An example is provided where resolving the prioritization of values—such as consistency over comprehensiveness—clarifies various decision points. This approach enhances communication and understanding within teams, making it a valuable tool for problem-solving.
