01
Identify
Selects the best-fit frameworks, then dispatches specialist agents to pinpoint root causes
01 — The Problem
Better answers start with a better understanding of the problem
A transcript captures everything said and a context dump expresses what happened, but neither necessarily communicates the core problem clearly. rootBoard approaches this like a team of consultants would, applying different problem-solving frameworks to uncover its core drivers
Specialist agents analyze the evidence through different frameworks, then validate and debate its core problems
02 — The Approach
Identify problemsfrom various lenses
Classifier selects two to four lenses that best fit the source. Separate agents analyze the evidence in isolation, then a synthesizer compares what converges, what conflicts and where the evidence is still thin
01 · Source
Transcript or context dump
One unedited source of evidence is provided to the agents
02 · Classify + analyze
Five Whys
Pushes past visible symptoms
Jobs to Be Done
Finds the progress people need
Fishbone
Maps interacting causes
More frameworks
Add any specialized lens
Synthesis.md
Synthesize findings
Compares what converges, what conflicts, and where the evidence is still thin
03 · Present
Editable problem map
Problem statements with impact, proofs, and confidence are shown to the user in a whiteboard
03 — The Workflow
Turn raw context into an interactive problem map
02
Compare
Runs each lens independently, then preserves areas of convergence and useful disagreements
03
Interact
Produces an editable HTML board that works without a server
04 — The Roadmap
Extend how rootBoard starts, remembers, and adapts
01
More ways to start
Accept PDFs, documents and audio without requiring a separate conversion step
02
Persistent boards
Save edits beyond the current browser session and make boards easier to revisit and share
03
Custom lenses
Let people add their own problem-framing frameworks for specialized contexts
