root-conflict-analysis

TRIZ Root Conflict Analysis (RCA+) — a domain-independent technique for defining, structuring, and visually representing problems by discovering contradictions. Extends classical Root Cause Analysis by identifying causes that produce both positive and negative effects simultaneously. Applicable to engineering, product, process, service, and business/management problems. Use this skill when the user mentions 'root conflict analysis', 'RCA+', 'Grundkonfliktanalyse', or wants to decompose a complex problem into its underlying contradictions rather than just finding root causes.
