The EDDY Model — Team Diagnostic

Use this when something's stuck and you can't quite name why. Work through each stage in order — the diagnosis only holds if it's built on evidence, not assumption. Your answers save automatically in this file on this device.

Evidence

What's actually observable

▾

What's the specific pattern you're seeing — not a feeling, an observable pattern?

What do people say versus what they actually do?

Drivers

The real forces underneath the symptom

▾

What's the driver nobody's actually named out loud yet?

If you're wrong about that driver, what's the next most likely one?

Dialogue

Testing the diagnosis against reality

▾

Who needs to be in the room for this conversation to actually test the diagnosis?

What question will you open with to surface the truth, not just confirm your theory?

Yield

What actually changes

▾

What's the decision, action, or owner that comes out of this?

How will you know in three weeks whether it actually worked?
