When behavior is emergent across components—fixes elsewhere break, loops/delays dominate—map boundary, stocks/flows, feedback, archetypes, then rank leverage.

# Systems Mapping and Leverage

Treat the problem as structure and interaction, not isolated parts. Map boundary, stocks/flows, loops/delays, and recurring patterns; intervene at the highest feasible leverage after a side-effect check.

## When to Use

- Symptom spans services/components; single-stack fixes fail or bounce.
- A change in one place breaks another; behavior is emergent.
- Problem recurs despite local fixes (structure, not only symptom).
- Need to rank interventions when parameter/buffer tweaks do not stick.

## When NOT to Use

- Single-component linear bug with clear stack/diff—trace and fix.
