# A3 Problem Analysis

Apply A3 problem-solving format for comprehensive, single-page problem documentation and resolution planning.

## Description
Structured one-page analysis format covering: Background, Current Condition, Goal, Root Cause Analysis, Countermeasures, Implementation Plan, and Follow-up. Named after A3 paper size; emphasizes concise, complete documentation.

## Usage
`/analyse-problem [problem_description]`

## Variables
- PROBLEM: Issue to analyze (default: prompt for input)
- OUTPUT_FORMAT: markdown or text (default: markdown)

## Steps
1. **Background**: Why this problem matters (context, business impact)
2. **Current Condition**: What's happening now (data, metrics, examples)
3. **Goal/Target**: What success looks like (specific, measurable)
4. **Root Cause Analysis**: Why problem exists (use 5 Whys or Fishbone)
5. **Countermeasures**: Proposed solutions addressing root causes
6. **Implementation Plan**: Who, what, when, how
7. **Follow-up**: How to verify success and prevent recurrence
