# identify-bottleneck
## Purpose
Identify the limiting dimension or dependency currently constraining progress.
## Input contract
```yaml
required: [goal_state, dependency_or_factor_set, progress_evidence]
optional: [capacity_limits, intervention_history, bottleneck_definition]
constraints: [bottleneck claim requires a limiting relation and evidence]
```
## Procedure
1. Map factors and dependencies to the blocked outcome.
2. Compare capacities, delays, and failure frequencies.
3. Test candidate limits by tracing counterfactual relief or substitution.
4. Return primary bottleneck, alternatives, and evidence gaps.
