I often make fun of McKinsey- style four quadrants when overused, but they really boil down to something that makes a lot of sense in communicating a problem space: a) carefully choose the two most important dimensions of concern (as Alan Kay said: the correct point of view is worth 80 Iq points) b) make them binary: are we happy here or do we need to change? In a way similar to the pareto ratio, you keep a surprising amount of value in something “so simple it cant be possibly so useful”.
