How it works
An issue tree, also known as a logic tree, is a visual method for dissecting a complex problem or question into its constituent parts. It organizes these parts hierarchically, moving from a broad issue on the left to increasingly detailed sub-issues or potential solutions on the right. This structured breakdown aids in systematic problem-solving, root cause analysis, and ensuring all aspects of a problem are considered.
