Bottleneck Identification

Help me identify bottlenecks in [PROCESS/SYSTEM/GOAL].

Current state:
[DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OR SITUATION]

I want to achieve: [DESIRED OUTCOME]
Current result: [WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING]
Gap: [DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESIRED AND ACTUAL]

Help me identify:
1. Where does the process slow down or break?
2. What's the constraint limiting throughput?
3. What's the weakest link in the chain?
4. What are we waiting on most often?
5. Where do errors or rework occur?

For each bottleneck:
- Impact (how much it's costing us)
- Cause (why this bottleneck exists)
- Solution options
