Bottlenecks

Bottleneck Patterns

Where do decisions and flow break?

CORE CLASSIFICATION

Transition and Handoff Break

The decision path breaks across Reward → owned object → use → gap → next action continuity. Preserve Campaign flow, attainable/free progression, object-face separation.

The result of one step does not connect to the next action, return, or reinvestment decision.

Contradictions

Contradiction Patterns

What must improve, and what must remain protected?

CORE CLASSIFICATION

Input and Reward Value Closure vs Diversity and Invested-Asset Preservation

Improve Reward → owned object → use → gap → next action continuity while preserving Campaign flow, attainable/free progression, object-face separation.

Time, currency, purchases, rewards, and held assets must close into trustworthy value while route diversity, scarcity, and invested assets remain protected.

Solution Mechanisms

Solution Mechanisms

Which intervention mechanism changes the condition?

CORE CLASSIFICATION

Route and Return Handoff

make reward receipt → owned object → usable destination or gap → next eligible action readable through optional depth and canonical routes. Preserve existing reward, eligibility, collection depth, alternative route and free-path choice.

Connect the current state to valid next actions, routes, retries, and returns while preserving choice and existing paths.

  2. Supporting

    Context Asset and Authority Isolation

    make result → rule and setup → score → settlement → reentry grounds attributable while preserving exact mode, version and facet authority. Preserve existing matching, score, result, settlement, mode, version and facet authority.

  3. Supporting

    Loss Trust and Entitlement Buffer

    connect transaction or acquisition → completion context → ownership → use state over exact existing keyed sources and records. Preserve draw, pity, transaction, ownership, permanent or limited, base or L.E., and purchase or nonpurchase boundaries.

  4. Supporting

    Context Asset and Authority Isolation

    make named-event condition → entitlement or unit → destination or result continuity readable in separated authority compartments. Preserve event period, eligibility, paid, free or nonparticipation route, product tier, currency unit, shop and result authority.

  5. Supporting

    State and Rule Visibility Encoding

    make current authority → qualifier → exception → valid action or result route deterministic and fail closed when designation is absent. Preserve activity-specific valid action or result, source integrity, history and translation separation, and Fair Play scope.

  6. Supporting

    Baseline and Resource Stabilization

    make each object's identity → role and state → source, use and destination → authoritative lifecycle detail traceable with explicit unresolved fields. Preserve economy depth, autonomy, paid or free and time scope, removed state, unknown authority and object identity.
