Step 1
Observe
Record what happens without changing the process during the observation window.
Step 2

Compare the stages and measures above instead of treating the final symptom as the cause.
Step 3
Test one constraint
Change the smallest plausible constraint and watch whether the downstream result moves.

Frequently asked questions

What should I measure first when diagnosing why visitors don't become customers in your business?

Measure each transition separately: exposed to visitor, visitor to engaged prospect, prospect to decision, and decision to completed purchase.

How long should a small-business diagnosis take?

Begin with seven days of consistent observation, then compare the pattern with financial, customer, and operating records. Do not make a major decision from one unusually good or bad day.

Should I fix the visible symptom immediately?

Not until you identify which variable changed. Acting on the symptom can hide the real constraint and move cost or pressure into another part of the business.
