Connection Circles

Map causal relationships between variables and find loops.

Best for

Growth systems, incentives, operating bottlenecks, and platforms.

Can generate

Variables, causal links, feedback loops, and leverage points.

Good input

Use connection circles to map the variables and feedback loops.

What this skill can generate

Each demo maps to a real paid deliverable: a Markdown report, Mermaid diagram, or PDF-ready file. Users can inspect examples before spending their 3 free generations.

Markdown report1 credits

Connection Circles system diagnostic memo

Translate complex operating, organizational, or growth issues into system relationships and leverage points.

Generate this format

Sample input

After hiring more sales reps, revenue rose short term, but customer success load increased, implementations slipped, and renewal risk rose. Use Connection Circles to analyze the system.

Generated output includes

  • Variables, causal links, feedback loops, and leverage points.
  • Key variables and boundaries
  • Feedback loop explanation
  • Smallest useful interventions
Diagram + report2 credits

Connection Circles feedback-loop diagram

Output a Mermaid system map that shows causal chains, delays, and rebound points.

Generate this format

Sample input

To hit releases, product keeps reducing testing time. Short-term speed improves, but production issues rise, support load grows, and engineering has to fix bugs. Use Connection Circles to create a feedback-loop diagram.

Generated output includes

  • Mermaid system diagram
  • Reinforcing and balancing loops
  • Delays and side effects
  • Testable leverage points
PDF-ready file3 credits

Connection Circles leverage-point PDF

Compress system insight into a one-page action brief for leadership.

Generate this format

Sample input

We want to improve engineering productivity, but meetings are heavy, requirements change fast, technical debt is high, and new hires ramp slowly. Use Connection Circles to generate a one-page PDF brief.

Generated output includes

  • PDF-ready HTML
  • System map summary
  • High-leverage interventions
  • 30/60/90-day action path
