Levels of Magnification

Analyzing a Problem Through Three Different Levels of Magnification

Use this to define a problem and gain clarity.

I have found it useful to use three different levels of magnification when looking at some Thing and asking the question:

“What’s the Problem?”

  • Conceptual (Macro) — This is the high-level perspective, philosophical, theoretical, existential
  • Practical (Meso) — No fancy language, just the actual how-to of something
  • Technical (Micro) — The nuts and bolts, diving deep into the specifics of a thing
