Trouble

  • an unsatisfying event
    • Utilizing the solution is complicated = involves something that is difficult to do
    • Utilizing the solution is complex = involves something that is difficult to understand
  • too much variance
    • Broad variance centered on the target
    • Tight variance but off target
    • Broad variance and off target
    • Random variance (no pattern around target)
  • a breakdown (the solution doesn’t work)
  • too much uncertainty of inputs, outputs, and outcomes
  • unrealized benefits
  • unresolved challenges
  • a constraint
  • an anomaly
    • Something unusual, unexpected , abnormal , or peculiar enough to be noticed
  • a duality paradox
    • a situation that is difficult to understand because it has opposing factors
