2.0 Strategic Insights (Higgins 1995 Model)
- The Chain of Causality: We have identified that "Budget Cutting" (W1_2) is merely a surface-level symptom. The true Root Cause is the Cargo Cult Culture (R2) where management mimics the appearance of efficiency while destroying the logic of professional output.
- The SigmaFidelity™ Intervention: Our service doesn't just clean; it targets the Root Cause (R1) by providing the Information Fidelity required to break the Zero-Cost Illusion.
