Failure Diagnosis FAQs

Question 1

How does the skill distinguish between friction and algorithm failure?

Accepted Answer

It uses an 80% compliance threshold. If you are doing the behavior less than 80% of the time, it's a Friction failure. If you are doing it more than 80% but seeing no results, it's likely an Algorithm or Target failure.

Question 2

What is the primary goal of the Failure Diagnosis skill?

Accepted Answer

The primary goal is to identify which layer of your system is failing—Target, Algorithm, or Friction—so you can apply the correct intervention rather than just 'trying harder'.

Question 3

Why does the skill include a timing table?

Accepted Answer

Many indicators (like skill improvement or body composition) are 'lagging,' meaning results take weeks to show. The timing table prevents users from prematurely abandoning a working strategy.

Question 4

What is the 'Separation Principle' in this context?

Accepted Answer

It is a diagnostic sequence that checks failures in order of probability: first checking for execution friction, then strategic algorithm flaws, and finally target definition errors.

Question 5

What is the 'Willpower Trap' mentioned in the skill?

Accepted Answer

The Willpower Trap is the false belief that failure is due to a lack of discipline. This skill treats friction as a structural system problem that should be solved by design, not by increasing effort.
