Write a problem statement

paulducey.com/cannabis/course

DateThe recurring problem (reprint, count mismatch, stockout)Name

A 30-minute walk: solve nothing. A problem statement is a measured gap from a standard, with no cause, blame or solution in it. Use no names and no company figures.

Write it here
The standard (what should happen)
The current condition, with one measure
Where and when it happens
How you know (a count, a log, what you saw in ten minutes)
Three "why" questions you would ask. Answer none of them, and propose no fix.
Circle any word above that is blame or a solution. Rewrite it here without that word.
