Markdown report1 credits

Iceberg Model 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 Iceberg Model to analyze the system.

Generated output includes

  • Event, pattern, structure, mental model, and intervention map.
  • Key variables and boundaries
  • Feedback loop explanation
  • Smallest useful interventions
Diagram + report2 credits

Iceberg Model 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 Iceberg Model 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

Iceberg Model 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 Iceberg Model 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
