B2–C1 · Cause, effect, and consequence · 4 patterns

Explain causes, effects and consequences

Explain how one development leads to another.

Learner job · CAU

Explain how one development leads to another.

Use these Frames when you need to distinguish a trigger from a mechanism and explain what follows from it.

01 · Distinct core Frames

Start with genuinely different ways to do the job

4 canonical indexable Frames, deduplicated by reusable formula structure rather than contextual noun substitution.

01Because [X], [Y], which meant that [Z].Because the dependency was missing from the migration inventory, the interface was never tested in the new environment, which meant that the first production run failed.German parallel: Weil [X], [Y], was dazu führte, dass [Z].02[X] leads to [Y], which in turn leads to [Z].Missing ownership leads to slower decisions, which in turn leads to longer incident resolution.German parallel: [X] führt zu [Y], was wiederum zu [Z] führt.03[X] results from a combination of [Y] and [Z].The incident results from a combination of stale mapping and missing validation.German parallel: [X] ergibt sich aus einer Kombination von [Y] und [Z].04[X] may have contributed to [Y], but it was not the only cause.The release timing may have contributed to the incident, but it was not the only cause.German parallel: [X] mag zu [Y] beigetragen haben, war aber nicht die einzige Ursache.

02 · When to use

Choose the job before the wording

Use Cause diagnosis when you are still locating the root cause; use Evidence and inference when the causal claim itself needs support.

01Causal diagnosisSeparate triggers from causes, compare mechanisms, and diagnose causal structure without treating sequence as proof.02Evidence and inferenceConnect a claim to evidence without overclaiming.

03 · Active retrieval

Produce one sentence before you reveal a model

Say or write one sentence for this job: “Explain how one development leads to another.” Then open one Frame above, compare the language move, and rewrite your sentence for a different context.

04 · Continue with reviewed relations

Move from a Frame to a distinction, choice or new sentence

Only already-published relations are shown. Missing relations are not inferred or invented.

01Pattern LensInspect a new sentence and resolve it to canonical Metkagram patterns.02X leads to Y leads to Z vs X results from Y and ZA reviewed distinction between nearby Frames.03Missing ownership slows decisions, and slower decisions then lengthen incident resolution. Make the intermediate mechanism visible.Choose the better Frame first, then reveal the explanation.04Explain causes without forcing a simple storySeparate causal chains from joint causes and acknowledge a contributing factor without pretending it explains the whole outcome.

01 · How to use this set

Start from the communication job

Explain how one development leads to another.

Read the frame, try to complete your own sentence before opening an example, then compare the English structure with its German parallel. The point is retrieval and choice, not passive list reading.

01Negotiation and decisionsMake proposals, trade-offs, and commitments.02Problem framing and reframingDefine the problem before solving it, expose hidden assumptions, and choose a more useful frame.03Reasoning under uncertaintySeparate evidence from assumptions, calibrate confidence, and identify what information would change the conclusion.04Perspective takingRepresent another viewpoint fairly, separate positions from interests, and locate the real source of disagreement.
