Chapter 2 | Define the Problem Wrong, and Everything Afterward Goes Wrong

A wrong problem definition makes later analysis and execution drift away from the real issue.

Core idea: Problem definition is the starting point that decides whether effort moves toward the root or only circles the symptom.

How to read it: treat the chapter as a working frame. Identify the situation it describes, the mistake it warns against, and the standard it asks you to build into your own system.

Static practice: Write three alternative definitions for one problem, then choose the one closest to the root cause.
