Economics
Applies economic reasoning to decisions, organisations, and systems. Diagnoses what kind of analysis is needed and routes to the right tool. Economics is not just about money — it is about how incentives shape behaviour, how choices foreclose alternatives, and why individually rational actors so often produce collectively irrational outcomes.
