01
THE PROBLEM

Smart Engineers. Ad-Hoc Problem Solving.

You're technically skilled. But when problems hit, you improvise. Each challenge gets a one-off solution. Decisions are made under pressure without a repeatable process.

The result? You solve the wrong problem efficiently. Knowledge walks out when people leave. The same mistakes show up across projects. And despite years of experience, you're still in execution mode instead of thinking strategically.

The difference between senior engineers who stay stuck and those who become strategic leaders? A systematic approach to problem-solving that compounds over time.

02
THE METHOD

5 Questions. 5 Minutes. One Reusable Framework.

The Pattern Architect Protocol turns last week's solved problem into a framework you can use forever.

monday_extraction.md
# Every Monday, ask yourself:

Q1: What recurring shape underlies this problem?
Q2: What signals told me this was happening?
Q3: What didn't work, and why?
Q4: What sequence of questions leads to the solution?
Q5: Where else might this pattern appear?

# Output: 1 reusable framework for your library
"52 extractions per year = compound capability."

Do this once a week. In a year, you'll have 52 frameworks. In two years, 104. Each one makes the next problem easier to solve.

YOUR FIRST WEEK

Inside the Starter Kit

Three tools delivered automatically. Each one builds on the last.

Instant Access

Pattern Architect Template

The 5-question Monday practice you just saw. Blank template plus a completed example showing exactly how to extract a framework.

Day 3

Starter Pattern Library

10 battle-tested frameworks covering root cause analysis, decision-making, constraint mapping, and more. Your library starts pre-loaded.

Day 7

RAPID Methodology Overview

The complete problem-solving system behind everything: Recognize, Analyze, Prioritize, Implement, Deliver. See how all the pieces fit.

Then the weekly newsletters begin—adding one new framework to your library every week.

05
FOR TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS

Scale Systematic Thinking Across Your Team

Individual frameworks are powerful. Shared frameworks transform organizations. When your whole team operates from the same problem-solving playbook, knowledge compounds across people—not just projects.

Onboard Faster

New engineers inherit battle-tested frameworks instead of starting from scratch every time.

Retain Knowledge

When people leave, their problem-solving approaches stay. Institutional memory becomes permanent.

Align Decision-Making

Shared frameworks mean consistent approaches. Less friction, faster execution, better outcomes.
