Descartes
Cracks one fuzzy problem open along its real seams into sub-problems you can actually work.
Skill description
Takes one big fuzzy problem and cracks it open along its real seams into 3 to 5 independent sub-problems, each solvable on its own, each with a falsifiable success criterion. You walk in stuck and walk out with a set you can parallelize and a recommendation on where to start.
