Example output — restaurant ingredient waste
Instant decomposition
Raw symptom

Small restaurants lose 10–15% of food spend to waste each week.

Assumption embedded

You assumed the cause is poor demand forecasting — so you're building a prediction tool.

Reframe

What if the problem isn't missing data but too many menu items — and the fix is fewer dishes, not better forecasts?

The 4 assumptions you made
SCOPE
Individual restaurant operations — but the symptom exists at chain level too, and at the supplier level.
CAUSE
Demand unpredictability — but waste also stems from portion sizing and menu complexity.
CUSTOMER
Restaurant owners — but kitchen managers and chain operators face this differently.
SOLUTION
Prediction software — but procurement contracts, menu consulting, and shared purchasing also address the symptom.
