What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you explain why a rollout, migration, integration, or growth effort looks correct on paper but still stalls, decays, or triggers resistance in practice. It turns messy process and adoption problems into a structured kinetics analysis so you can find the real bottleneck instead of adding more effort blindly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Activation Energy Analysis: Identifies the first-hour cost, setup friction, and cognitive load that prevent people from reaching first value.
- Rate Law and Bottleneck Diagnosis: Helps determine whether throughput is limited by one input, coordination between multiple parties, a saturated support channel, or an inhibitor.
- Catalyst vs. Consumed Reactant Framing: Separates reusable accelerators like docs, templates, and examples from load-bearing human effort such as manual onboarding or exception handling.
- Equilibrium and Pushback Prediction: Uses reversibility and Le Chatelier-style reasoning to anticipate churn, workarounds, and compensating behaviors after a process change.
- Use Case: Useful when an SDK launch, internal platform migration, or policy rollout gets initial attention but fails to convert into durable adoption across teams.
Quick Start
Use the reaction-kinetics-and-catalysis skill to analyze why our new internal SDK launch produced early interest but adoption flattened after the first few teams.
