The Problem Machine

Brian Mattocks, Alex Garaschenko

The Problem Machine starts with real reports from the field, where business owners and operators describe the challenges they're running into day-to-day. We take those inputs and break them down to understand what's actually going on beneath the surface, separating symptoms from root causes.We then move into diagnosing the structure of the problem, troubleshooting what's driving it, and exploring how technology, systems thinking, and AI can be used to engineer different ways of approaching it. Not about quick fixes, but about working through how problems can be properly understood and systematically addressed.
