When analysing something:
- Surface level is identifying the “What?”
- To think beyond it, approach it as this…
- What? —> i) How? ii) Why? iii) What does it mean/imply?
If you ask enough How’s and Why’s, you’ll end up breaking things down into first principles. If you ask what does it mean / imply, you’ll start connecting the “What” into action and progress. You’ll understand if what you’re analysing is important to the bigger picture or not.
