Prescriptive diagnoses are necessarily root cause-based because they must integrate both functionality—defined by functionalist principles—and operationality—defined by unicist binary actions. This ensures that solutions address the structural causes of business problems. This method guarantees that diagnoses lead to adaptive, sustainable, and confirmable solutions, aligned with the functional nature of business processes?.

Root cause management has been simplified. The root causes of adaptive systems and environments became manageable by observing the actual Unicist binary actions driven by the purpose to be achieved.

These actions allow inferring the functionalist principles that regulate the unified field of functions and define their functionality, followed by redefining the binary actions to ensure their operation while validating the results using Unicist destructive tests.

This functionalist approach introduces a logical structure to root cause management, which is handled using AI, replacing the analytical-empirical approach that was developed to address cause-effect relationships

Root cause-based business diagnoses identify the underlying functional causes of problems rather than addressing symptoms. Using the unicist functionalist approach, these diagnoses integrate descriptive, causal, predictive, and prescriptive analyses to ensure sustainable solutions. 

By applying unicist ontological reverse engineering, they trace issues back to their functional principles—purpose, active function, and energy conservation function. Solutions are validated through unicist destructive tests, ensuring adaptability and long-term effectiveness?.

1. Developing an Integrated Diagnosis: Descriptive, Causal, Predictive, and Prescriptive

A functionalist approach requires integrating multiple levels of diagnosis to ensure a holistic solution:

Descriptive Diagnosis

The descriptive stage involves gathering data about the current situation to identify visible problems and symptoms. This stage constructs a functional map of the business system.

Causal Diagnosis

The causal diagnosis traces the underlying root causes that generate the observed symptoms. Using unicist ontological reverse engineering, this stage identifies the active and energy conservation functions that are failing or misaligned.

• Backward chaining thinking is used to reconstruct the business function from observed effects back to its root causes.
• Unicist binary actions (two complementary actions ensuring results) are used to develop a functional resolution of problems.

Predictive Diagnosis

Predictive diagnoses leverage understanding causality to anticipate future behaviors. By integrating the wide and restricted contexts, this stage defines possible future scenarios and their potential impact on the business.

• Wide context: The external macroenvironment that influences business evolution.
• Restricted context: The immediate environment that directly affects operational dynamics.

This step ensures that solutions are adaptive and future-proof rather than reactive.

Prescriptive Diagnosis

Prescriptive diagnoses focus on correcting dysfunctions and designing solutions based on the identified root causes.

• Designing Unicist Binary Actions: These actions are structured to both drive change (maximal strategy) and sustain results (minimum strategy).
• Using Unicist Business Objects: Functional business objects are introduced to accelerate results and minimize risk.

2. Implementation and Testing of Solutions

The final stage of a root cause-based diagnosis involves implementing the prescribed solutions and validating their effectiveness through unicist destructive tests.

Pilot Tests and Destructive Tests

• Pilot tests ensure that the proposed solution operates effectively in real-life scenarios.
• Destructive tests push solutions to their limits to confirm their adaptability and resilience under varying conditions. If a solution fails these tests, it means the root cause has not been properly addressed.

3. Unicist Approach to Sustainable Diagnoses

Root cause-based diagnoses using the unicist functionalist approach ensure:

• Structural problem-solving rather than symptomatic fixes.
• Sustainability by aligning solutions with the functional nature of business processes.
• Adaptability by considering environmental influences and future evolution.
• Confirmability through destructive testing to ensure robustness.

This methodology integrates the science of business functionality with practical problem-solving, ensuring businesses can anticipate, adapt, and sustain competitive advantages in evolving markets?.

4. The Output

Prescriptive diagnoses in business define the unicist binary actions and their synchronicity, ensuring that processes work efficiently. These diagnoses go beyond identifying problems—they prescribe solutions by structuring synchronized binary actions, which consist of complementary actions that expand possibilities and ensure results.

The output of prescriptive diagnoses includes:

1. Definition of the Problem: Identifying the functional dysfunctions affecting business performance.
2. Prescription of the Solution: Structuring the necessary unicist binary actions that integrate maximal (expansion-driven) and minimum (results-assuring) strategies.
3. Prototype Design: Developing testable solutions that can be validated through pilot tests and unicist destructive tests to confirm their robustness.

This structured approach ensures that business processes are functional, adaptable, and aligned with their purpose, active function, and energy conservation function?.

Unicist Binary Actions Address Root Causes

Unicist binary actions address root causes by leveraging the functionalist principle to integrate purpose, active function, and energy conservation, thereby ensuring that strategic actions not only manage foundational drivers but also provide operational solutions that achieve desired outcomes in adaptive environments.

All adaptive systems, whether natural or artificial, are driven by binary actions, which distinguish adaptive environments from systemic environments. Unicist binary actions are essential for managing adaptive environments, such as businesses.

Examples of Evident Binary Actions

• Learning + Teaching = Knowledge
• Empathy + Sympathy = Influencing
• Productivity + Quality = Production
• Marketing + Selling = Revenue
• Efficacy + Efficiency = Effectiveness
• Desirability + Harmony = Aesthetics

Binary Actions consist of two synchronized systemic (non-adaptive) actions: the reaction to the first action creates a space that is addressed by the second action, generating results without provoking additional reactions. These actions naturally enhance growth and profitability.

This approach optimizes resource utilization, minimizes risks, and aligns with human behavior, fostering engagement and adaptability. Grounded in functionalist principles, unicist binary actions drive results efficiently, ensure process stability, and give businesses a competitive edge in dynamic environments.
