"... must solve the problems it set out to solve"

A good or bad design is usually determined via its ability in solving the problems it intended to solve.

However, it should not introduce other problems either.

A Solving Design:

• solves the initial problems
• does not introduce new problems
• should not envelope the problem so tightly that it cannot be agile enough to solve future ones
• solves problems from all angles
• is a long-lasting solve
