How This Tool Helps
The Framework Fit Validator helps you evaluate whether your chosen problem-solving framework (A3, 8D, DMAIC, or TBP) is a good fit for your specific situation.
You'll get feedback on:
- • Whether your chosen framework is a good fit (and why)
- • What the framework was originally designed for
- • Strengths and weaknesses for your specific context
- • What you might need to adapt if using it outside its ideal scope
- • Alternative frameworks to consider as a second option
Important context to include:
- • Problem type: Troubleshooting? Gap from standard? Target state? Innovation?
- • Company standards: Does your company require a specific format?
- • Customer requirements: Does your customer expect a certain approach?
- • Experience level: New to problem solving or experienced?
- • Learning goals: Quick fix or building capability?
💡 Tip: These frameworks can be adapted to many situations - we're not here to tell you what you can't do, but to help you understand strengths, weaknesses, and what adaptations might be needed.
