Longtime fan of TapRoot. Glad you finally published your book Mark!

These are tools for "life" not just industry, manufacturing, Corporate environments. We all need to adopt/commit to a practice of "continuous improvement" both as individual humans as well as groups. Call that your root cause for life!

Very Good.
