Cynefin Classification Classify by cause-effect, then use only the matching response mode. Wrong-domain method is the failure mode. When to Use - Unsure whether to run a playbook, analyze, probe, or stabilize. - A method keeps failing and domain mismatch is plausible. - A novel or mixed problem needs approach selection before solution work. When NOT to Use - Domain and method are already agreed—execute. - Task is finding a specific cause, not choosing an approach. - Classification done; switch to the domain method—do not re-label endlessly. - Pure mechanical edits with no approach uncertainty…
