A more difficult task

From Claude with some prompting
This diagram illustrates the complexity of problem-solving in real-world situations:

  1. The title “A more difficult task” implies a challenge beyond simple problem-solving.
  2. The “Yes or No” option, marked as “EASY,” represents the simplest form of decision-making. This suggests that real-world problems are rarely this straightforward.
  3. The central question “Which one?” leads to two critical paths: a. “Many (Yes or No)” shows that multiple problems often coexist in real situations. b. “Priority” emphasizes that determining which problem to address first is more crucial than merely solving problems.
  4. The “Increasing” arrow indicates the growing complexity of issues and the increasing difficulty of decision-making.
  5. The figure with “More Diff” represents the individual or team facing these complex decision-making scenarios.

This diagram highlights that in real problem-solving processes, identifying and prioritizing the most important issues among many is more critical than simply resolving individual problems. It effectively captures the essence of decision-making and problem-solving in complex, real-world environments, where the challenge often lies in determining what to tackle first rather than in the solutions themselves.
