Follow these steps:

### 1. Map the system

Components, relationships, and feedback loops (reinforcing and balancing).

### 2. Locate bottlenecks

Where things get stuck.

### 3. Find amplification points

Where one action affects many outcomes.

### 4. Spot compounding

What builds on itself over time?

### 5. Identify root causes

Causes that produce many symptoms.

### 6. Evaluate leverage ratio

Favor points where a small change shifts the whole system over points that need constant effort to maintain.

### 7. Name the intervention

Name the single highest-leverage intervention.
