# Kaizen > Six-step continuous-improvement write-ups: improvement potential → current > method analysis → ideas → test plan → implementation → evaluation. One file > per loop. Where a postmortem records how an incident was debugged, a kaizen > records how a recurring cost was measured, attacked, and re-measured — and > which standard changed so it stays fixed. > > Docs index: [`../README.md`](../README.md).
