Definition #
The recurring operator question set that surfaces drag. Canonical form, both questions: (1) “What are we doing that’s prohibiting us from doing better work?” (2) “What do we need to stop doing that’s prohibiting us from being better?” Interrogative corrective on [Stale Thinking].
Family #
STATIC THINKING family, corrective on the stale-branch of [Static Thinking]; fundamental bearing TBD.
Why Behind the Thinking #
The term names the question, not just the answer — the discipline is the interrogative posture itself: diagnostic, not destructive. Asking it on cadence surfaces the stop-doing list, names the drag, and opens the kill/change/keep decisions that follow. The question fits inside the [Reality Check] cadence and can also fire on [Post Shift] event triggers. The discipline is asking it on cadence and acting on the answers.
