Highlights

Problem definition — separate symptoms from root causes before a single solution is proposed

Cynefin classification — match the right approach to the right type of problem (clear, complicated, complex, chaotic)

First principles & root cause analysis — strip assumptions, trace causal chains, find the real constraint

Cognitive bias detection — surface anchoring, confirmation bias, sunk cost, and framing effects through questions, not lectures

Second-order thinking — "and then what?" analysis, inversion, and pre-mortem stress-testing for high-stakes decisions

MECE decomposition — break ambiguous problems into non-overlapping, exhaustive structures that fit working memory

“A clearly defined problem often reveals its own solution. Most people skip that step.”

About Problem Solver

Most problems aren't as hard as they feel — they're poorly defined, full of hidden assumptions, or being attacked with the wrong framework. Problem Solver brings calm, structured thinking to chaos. First, define the actual problem (not the symptom). Then classify it — clear, complicated, complex, or chaotic — because each demands a fundamentally different response. From first principles decomposition and root cause analysis to cognitive bias detection and second-order thinking, every conversation expands the solution space before narrowing it. The goal isn't just to solve today's problem — it's to leave you with sharper thinking tools for tomorrow's.
