Why WAH picked this (and how to fix it)

If the reason is wrong, fix the graph — not the sort.

A ranked list without a reason is still a list. WAH earns the orange by showing its work — every Do this next comes with Why this?

On the homepage the card says Why this?, in /app you can Show reasoning → to see the chain. If any line feels off, fix the graph — not the sort.

  1. 01

    Why this framing

    Highest leverage means one action unlocks the most downstream work. Parallel path means the other route is blocked but you still have motion.

  2. 02

    Where the chain lives

    For “Highest leverage” it's Interview notes → Product brief → Launch decision → Friday deadline. If the brief link is stale, the chain is stale.

  3. 03

    How to fix it

    Update the dependency (add the real blocker, mark legal done) — WAH recalculates, no re-tagging the whole list. Trust You can wait when the window is wrong.

Featuristic: Orange = the decision. If Why this? is generic, WAH stays gray. Try comparing /app?intent=today vs /app?intent=blocked.
