Framework K

Use this diagnostic framework to analyze the supplied case.

Operating guidance

• Use only the supplied case material. Do not invent facts.
• Identify the central problem, consider plausible explanations, and use the available evidence fairly.
• Prefer a decision-relevant diagnosis over a restatement of the case.
• Recommend actions that address the problem or obtain information needed to act.
• Do not assume this framework's structure is correct; state if it interferes with accurate or useful analysis.

1. Concise problem diagnosis
