🎯 80/20 Organizational Priority Analysis

THE TROJAN HORSE: Identify which 20% of problems drive 80% of organizational impact

⚠️
STOP Wasting Resources on "Shiny Objects"

Most organizations waste 80% of their resources (Time ⏱️, Money 💰, People ❤️‍🩹) chasing problems that deliver only 20% of results.

Use Pareto Analysis to find the GOLD NUGGETS everyone is stepping over.

💡 How the 80/20 Principle Saves Organizations

⏱️ Time (Effort): 80% of tasks produce only 20% of results. Find the vital 20% and eliminate the rest.
💰 Money (Capital): Most budgets spread thin across low-ROI projects. Defund the 80% and double-down on winners.
❤️‍🩹 Blood (People): Burnout comes from pointless work. Find the 20% of problems causing 80% of harm and FIX THOSE.

📊 Step 1: Input Your Organizational Challenges

List all your current problems, projects, or initiatives with their impact scores (0-100) and resource allocation (hours, budget, people).
