Examine the Work Environment Before the Individual
Checking the environment first finds the cheap, common causes before money goes toward the expensive, rare ones. Confirm the person was told what good looks like, that feedback reached them close enough to the behavior to act on, and that tools, time, and process allowed it, before considering a skill or motivation explanation. Made the team's default, this check keeps every diagnosis honest.

Measurable Behaviors
Behaviors are optimized to be directly observable for evidence-based skill tracking.
Check whether expectations were made explicit before judging the person
Confirms the person was actually told what good looks like, in what form and by when, before assigning any fault.
Confirm the person received timely feedback on the behavior
Establishes whether feedback reached the person close enough to the behavior to act on, since a late correction cannot shape it.
Inspect tools, time, and process before concluding a skill gap
Checks that the person has the tools, the time, and a process that allows the behavior before ruling in a skill gap.
Make environment-first diagnosis the team's standard sequence
Prompts peers to check expectations, feedback, and resources first until the team starts there on its own.
Rule out a training fix until the cause is confirmed
Holds off on training until at least one environmental factor has been checked, so it is chosen from evidence rather than reflex.

What Environment-First Mastery Looks Like
A mastered diagnosis rules out expectations, feedback, tools, time, and process before it names the person, and records which constraints were checked, not just the one that stuck. Training is held until an environmental cause is confirmed, and peers run the sequence unprompted because the manager made it the standard.
