Issue Tree Builder
A structured approach to breaking down complex problems into actionable components using MECE principles.
What is an Issue Tree?
A visual hierarchy that decomposes a governing question into increasingly specific sub-questions or components. Used in consulting to structure analysis, prioritize workstreams, and develop hypotheses before solutioning.
Key characteristics:
- Top-down structure (question → branches → sub-branches)
- MECE at each level (branches don't overlap, collectively cover the problem)
- Hypothesis-driven (based on initial beliefs about what matters)
- Actionable at terminal branches (lowest level = things you can analyze or do)
Framework Components
Level 0: Governing Question
- The main strategic question to answer
- Must be specific and answerable
