# The problem is known, but its business impact is not

All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental.

The customer complains about a manual process. The team is preparing features and estimates, but nobody knows whether the problem costs time, money, quality or risk.

## Where we could start

I would first map the known facts, stakeholders and missing decisions, then identify the most useful next question without treating uncertainty as a sales failure.

## What you would have

A concise situation brief with facts, assumptions, questions and a possible next step.

## Participants

The user or process owner affected by the problem, a business decision-maker and the account lead.

## Roles and decisions

The customer confirms real consequences; I help organize the evidence and questions.

## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story
