Anyone can download a 5-Whys template.Katafacts gets you to the root cause.
Free, open-licensed templates for every lean method — plus AI that helps you actually use them. Value stream maps that compute real flow efficiency. A3s that hold up. Root cause analysis that argues back.
How we approach it
Not doctrine for its own sake. Methods that produce impact, and get out of your way.
- Simplify
- Plain language before jargon. No prerequisite curriculum standing between you and your first result. The vital few, not the exhaustive list.
- Accelerate
- Value in the first session, not the fifth. Analysis that used to take a team a week, done while you still have the problem in front of you.
- Amplify
- One practitioner doing what used to need a trained team. Judgement stays yours; the breadth work, the arithmetic and the recall don't.
Starting with three
Three methods that work as one system.
Direction, then the gap, then the fix — with results feeding the next cycle. More methods follow; these three prove the loop.
Close the gap
A3 problem solving
Structured problem solving on one page, with 5-Whys that push back when the causal chain doesn't hold.
Find the gap
Value stream mapping
Real flow efficiency computed from your own observations. Bottleneck named, waste quantified, countermeasures ranked.
Set direction
Hoshin Kanri
Objectives cascaded to the work, with catchball that forces specifics instead of formatting vague intent.
