Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
An upgraded version of 5W1H. Who (who does it), What (what to do), When (when), Where (where), Why (why), Which (which one/choice), How (how to do it), How much (how much cost/degree).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Exhaustive enumeration of elements: When assigning tasks or analyzing business plans, go through these 8 words to ensure no dimension is missed (a simple practice of the MECE principle).
Anchor fast decisions
Based on "exhaustive enumeration of elements" and "MECE". Adding Which (choice/option) to 5W1H + How much, the eight-dimensional scan ensures no dimension is missed in task assignment or business plans.
